:00:23. > :00:29.We're live in Bermondsey with reaction.

:00:30. > :00:34.I'm in Dagenham were two women have died at a fire in these maisonettes.

:00:35. > :00:35.An investigation has been launched into how it started.

:00:37. > :00:39.plans to help parents in the capital find money for nursery.

:00:40. > :00:41.And a look round the London Tudor palace -

:00:42. > :01:06.Good evening, welcome to the programme with me Riz Lateef.

:01:07. > :01:13.The future of one Millwall FC looks safe after plans to buy the land

:01:14. > :01:17.around the ground have been abandoned.

:01:18. > :01:20.It comes after BBC London learned that the council would hold

:01:21. > :01:21.an independent review into controversial plans

:01:22. > :01:25.Millwall had suggested it could force them to leave the area.

:01:26. > :01:33.Millwall Football Club might not be in the Premier League but that

:01:34. > :01:38.doesn't make it any less loved by its fans and that is because of work

:01:39. > :01:41.like this, community work, young, talented footballers being given a

:01:42. > :01:44.step up through sport but the coaches he believed up until today

:01:45. > :01:50.that they would have to move it out of this building, next door to the

:01:51. > :01:59.Den. They thought it was over. Children

:02:00. > :02:12.are caught you run by the Millwall Football Club trust. -- children are

:02:13. > :02:15.taught here. Today, the plans were scrapped. We've only reach this

:02:16. > :02:22.public pressure through online pressure against the council.

:02:23. > :02:29.Millwall fans but also other sports fans generally, it is sport's fight

:02:30. > :02:32.itself. It was not just the trust that was under threat, a compulsory

:02:33. > :02:36.purchase order meant local businesses would have to move, all

:02:37. > :02:39.in the name of a regeneration that would bring thousands of new homes

:02:40. > :02:45.to the area. Many couldn't understand why the two could live

:02:46. > :02:47.together. Hopefully is the end, weedy little bit sceptical about

:02:48. > :02:55.news from Lewisham Council but it has been a complete nightmare for

:02:56. > :03:03.three or four years, uncertainty in terms of playing and businesses. We

:03:04. > :03:06.got the fish unit next to, one of London's leading wholesale fish

:03:07. > :03:14.businesses, and we have plans to upgrade our own unit which have been

:03:15. > :03:19.made difficult. the euphoria of the recent FA Cup win has been matched

:03:20. > :03:23.by today's News for some fans. In a statement, the council said it is

:03:24. > :03:27.not proceeding with any compulsory purchase order on the new pregnancy

:03:28. > :03:41.development. -- Bermondsey. They believe it means an improved

:03:42. > :03:46.regeneration can begin. We can say with certainty they can stay in

:03:47. > :03:49.south-east London. It means the community can continue to operate in

:03:50. > :03:55.the local area and it will mean that they give the Academy is saved. It

:03:56. > :04:00.also means we can re-evaluate this development, get more affordable

:04:01. > :04:05.social housing, which Londoners really need. Is great news for

:04:06. > :04:10.Millwall, great news for fans and I'm grateful to the community

:04:11. > :04:13.support. There are plenty of hope to jump through before any regeneration

:04:14. > :04:19.starts but the club and its community organisation to leave now

:04:20. > :04:26.they can survive the bulldozers. -- believe now. The next big meeting

:04:27. > :04:31.will be on February eight for Lewisham Council. No statement yet

:04:32. > :04:33.from the developers but the smiles on the faces of these young football

:04:34. > :04:40.tonight tell their own story. Two women have died after a house

:04:41. > :04:47.fire in east London. Five people have been taken to

:04:48. > :04:48.hospital. Firefighters rescued

:04:49. > :04:50.a child and three adults It happened first thing this

:04:51. > :04:53.morning in Dagenham. Flames and thick smoke,

:04:54. > :04:55.flashing sirens, this is what awoke neighbours

:04:56. > :04:58.on Bradwell Avenue this morning. One woman stands seemingly

:04:59. > :04:59.trapped on a balcony. Eyewitnesses say she was

:05:00. > :05:07.rescued by firefighters. There was a woman out

:05:08. > :05:11.there on the balcony with a baby trying to get down and five minutes

:05:12. > :05:17.later the fire brigade turned up, smashed the window to try

:05:18. > :05:20.and get her out and the people running around with no tops on,

:05:21. > :05:25.so a very worrying time. People were banging,

:05:26. > :05:31.shouting, screaming, then I went out to the balcony

:05:32. > :05:34.to see it was a fire and when the firefighters came

:05:35. > :05:38.I managed to get out. When firefighters came,

:05:39. > :05:41.they found that five people, including two children,

:05:42. > :05:44.had escaped by themselves, but it was too late

:05:45. > :05:46.to save two other women. They were confirmed

:05:47. > :05:49.dead at the scene. The women who died here have not yet

:05:50. > :05:57.been officially identified. Police say they are still trying

:05:58. > :06:01.to trace their next of kin. Five people, including two children,

:06:02. > :06:04.had been taken to hospital. It's not known how serious

:06:05. > :06:06.their injuries are. That side of the block

:06:07. > :06:11.are a tight community, Forensic teams have been

:06:12. > :06:14.examining the scene, trying to work out how

:06:15. > :06:17.the fire started. At the moment, it's being

:06:18. > :06:19.treated as unexplained. Some neighbours have been moved out

:06:20. > :06:22.into temporary accommodation And it's also emerged that three

:06:23. > :06:34.people, including a child, have died in a separate

:06:35. > :06:36.fire in Reigate. They were found in a bed together

:06:37. > :06:39.by police, who were called yesterday The fire's cause is not yet known,

:06:40. > :06:46.but it is believed to have Still to come tonight: We hear

:06:47. > :06:54.from the mother of the 20 year old accused of attempting

:06:55. > :07:08.to assassinate Donald Trump And I'm at a hidden gem in London, a

:07:09. > :07:11.historic site where football's offside rule was born and which

:07:12. > :07:17.opens to the public for the first time in over 600 years.

:07:18. > :07:19.London Underground is warning passengers who use the Central

:07:20. > :07:22.and Waterloo and City line to expect disruption later

:07:23. > :07:28.Let's get the details from our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards

:07:29. > :07:30.who's at Bank station in the city for us tonight, when

:07:31. > :07:42.If you use the Central line and the Waterloo and Central line,

:07:43. > :07:49.destruction is on the way. The Central line at shut early tonight

:07:50. > :07:57.at about 11pm. Also tomorrow, they will be more serious disruption in

:07:58. > :08:02.Leytonstone and there will be a reduced service on the rest of the

:08:03. > :08:07.line. Also, they will be no service at all on the Waterloo City line

:08:08. > :08:11.so city workers that use that service are going to have to find

:08:12. > :08:17.other ways to work I'm afraid. What is the dispute about? It's a local

:08:18. > :08:23.issue about three depots in Essex and their eight tube drivers who

:08:24. > :08:27.have been told it will have to work as of else caught by London

:08:28. > :08:32.Underground. That has not gone down well at all with the unions, as you

:08:33. > :08:37.can imagine. Hence, we are in this situation we have this straight.

:08:38. > :08:40.London Underground say this strike is completely unnecessary. We need

:08:41. > :08:47.to move staff from locations where they are underutilised. The RMT have

:08:48. > :08:51.said, there is no doubt if London Underground get away with this, they

:08:52. > :08:55.will start shunting around drivers regardless. This is a local dispute

:08:56. > :08:56.at the moment but in the current climate, you just don't know where

:08:57. > :09:01.it's going to end up. A man's been arrested

:09:02. > :09:03.on suspicion of threatening the Brexit court campaigner,

:09:04. > :09:04.Gina Miller. Her legal challenge forced

:09:05. > :09:07.the government to give MPs a vote The 50-year-old was arrested this

:09:08. > :09:16.morning in Knightsbridge. Passengers were evacuated

:09:17. > :09:18.from a train in South East London London fire brigade were called

:09:19. > :09:24.to Kidbrooke station to a train Southeastern are investigating

:09:25. > :09:34.the fire under the drivers cab. A North Korean diplomat who defected

:09:35. > :09:37.from the London embassy last year has given his first TV interview

:09:38. > :09:39.since his defection. He's told the BBC he believes

:09:40. > :09:42.the regime will collapse one day Now living in South Korea,

:09:43. > :09:46.Thae Yong-Ho has been talking about how much

:09:47. > :09:49.he misses his old life in London. The North Korean Embassy just off

:09:50. > :09:56.the north circular in Ealing. For about ten years,

:09:57. > :10:03.this was home of the former deputy ambassador, Thae Yong-ho,

:10:04. > :10:04.then in August he defected In his first interview since

:10:05. > :10:08.defecting, he says his relatives in North Korea will have been sent

:10:09. > :10:13.to prison camps as punishment I am sure that my relatives,

:10:14. > :10:25.brothers, sisters, families right now are all sent to remote,

:10:26. > :10:27.closed areas or prison camps. I'm very much now determined to do

:10:28. > :10:48.everything possible to pull down the North Korean regime

:10:49. > :10:50.and to save not only my family, but the whole North Korean

:10:51. > :10:53.people from slavery. On the North Korean leader,

:10:54. > :10:56.Kim Jong-un, he says he believes the dictator is prepared to fire

:10:57. > :10:59.nuclear weapons at America Kim Jong-un will press the button

:11:00. > :11:11.of this dangerous weapon. He thinks that his

:11:12. > :11:18.rule and his dynasty Remembering his life in London,

:11:19. > :11:28.the former diplomat said I really miss that life,

:11:29. > :11:34.especially in Ealing. Even now, I'm really sorry for not

:11:35. > :11:38.saying goodbye to my tennis club. I still miss the English spring

:11:39. > :11:41.and autumn so now I really want to say goodbye and thank

:11:42. > :12:06.you to all my club members. Next this evening: Women MPs say

:12:07. > :12:08.they're experiencing unprecedented Around two thirds of those

:12:09. > :12:13.questioned by the BBC said they felt "less safe" following the murder

:12:14. > :12:16.of Labour MP Jo Cox last summer. Let's get more details

:12:17. > :12:27.from Louisa Preston, As we know, it took women a long

:12:28. > :12:32.time to get into the building behind me, the first female MP was elected

:12:33. > :12:35.98 years ago after many years of struggles and it seems that female

:12:36. > :12:41.MPs are facing struggles of their own today. After the death of Jo

:12:42. > :12:45.Cox, many MPs feel unsafe after receiving abuse verbally and

:12:46. > :12:50.physically. A BBC survey has found that eight out of ten female MPs

:12:51. > :12:55.have received some sort of verbal abuse and half have received

:12:56. > :13:01.physical abuse. In London, we see many female MPs, one of the standard

:13:02. > :13:07.ones Labour MP Stella Creasy spoken out a lot about it and faced years

:13:08. > :13:14.of abuse. The MP for Kilburn joins me now, Tulip Sadik, tell me about

:13:15. > :13:26.the abuse you faced. In ranges from abuse about my gender, my name, my

:13:27. > :13:29.religion to more dishes in terms of threats of physical violence when

:13:30. > :13:32.they said they wanted to butcher me and my family, and you can imagine

:13:33. > :13:37.how horrible it is when the attack your family as well. At the end of

:13:38. > :13:41.the day, you're just doing your job. Yes, and I'm just a public servant,

:13:42. > :13:43.I was elected and I'm happy to engage with people if they want to

:13:44. > :13:48.have a constructive political discussion with me, about policy or

:13:49. > :13:53.my views, but to actually just direct abuse at me, dressed up as

:13:54. > :14:01.political discourse, is unacceptable. You think social media

:14:02. > :14:04.and Twitter is to blame? Ten years ago I worked for an MP who received

:14:05. > :14:07.a lot of hate mail but it would be in written form with the stamp on

:14:08. > :14:10.it, posted to the House of Commons on the winners now you don't really

:14:11. > :14:13.need to do that any more, you have Twitter and Facebook on your

:14:14. > :14:17.smartphone, you can access MPs and celebrities very quickly and hurl

:14:18. > :14:21.abuse at them all from the privacy of your bedroom, hiding behind a

:14:22. > :14:31.computer screen, which is really sad. It's interesting. Five out of

:14:32. > :14:34.six of the female MPs when actually asked if they were sure they would

:14:35. > :14:39.want to become an MP if they were starting their careers all over

:14:40. > :14:42.again, they said yes, they would, so difficult for female MPs but it

:14:43. > :14:46.obviously doesn't put them off doing their actual job.

:14:47. > :14:49.The mother of a man from Surrey accused of trying to assassinate

:14:50. > :14:51.Donald Trump says she's looking forward to him coming

:14:52. > :14:54.home, so he can get help for Asperger's syndrome.

:14:55. > :14:56.20-year-old Michael Sandford was arrested at a Trump rally

:14:57. > :15:00.He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, and is due

:15:01. > :15:08.Our reporter David Allard has been speaking to his mother Lynne.

:15:09. > :15:16.I love Las Vegas! June last year. This footage shows the moment

:15:17. > :15:23.Michael Sandford try to snatch a gun from a police officer to shoot

:15:24. > :15:32.Donald Trump. Absolutely horrified, my heart just beating and I burst

:15:33. > :15:37.into tears, I could not believe it. He's a very gentle, a very quiet,

:15:38. > :15:40.very loving lad. He's struggled greatly throughout his life with a

:15:41. > :15:45.variety of physical and mental health problems. But she says

:15:46. > :15:49.Michael was in a better state of mind when he travelled to the USA

:15:50. > :15:57.for a gap year when he didn't make contact for weeks, she recorded them

:15:58. > :16:04.-- him missing. He is vulnerable, he does go on the Internet, who has

:16:05. > :16:07.either had been mixing with? We now know he developed more medical

:16:08. > :16:14.problems than we realised and she has been diagnosed as having a

:16:15. > :16:17.psychotic episode at the time. A BBC documentary followed Lynn and

:16:18. > :16:22.Michael's Father Paul as they attended his sentencing in the

:16:23. > :16:25.states. He pleaded guilty to being an illegal alien in possession of a

:16:26. > :16:30.firearm and disrupting Government business. He got 12 months. The

:16:31. > :16:36.judge could clearly see he was in troubled, misguided young lad but he

:16:37. > :16:44.deserves a second chance. -- a troubled lad. From his maximum

:16:45. > :16:54.security prison, Michael is allowed 115 minute phone call PDA.

:16:55. > :17:05.-- once per day. What do you hope will happen when Michael is

:17:06. > :17:09.eventually released in May? I hope he gets to come home to his loving

:17:10. > :17:10.family. He will have a lot of clear that he still needs and medication

:17:11. > :17:14.and support and restart his life. And the documentary,

:17:15. > :17:17.The Brit Who Tried To Kill Trump is available now on the BBC iPlayer

:17:18. > :17:21.and also on BBC One Ask any working parent

:17:22. > :17:30.in the capital about the cost of childcare and they'll probably

:17:31. > :17:33.tell you how expensive it is. Now City Hall has come up

:17:34. > :17:36.with a scheme to help parents borrow a lump sum to cover

:17:37. > :17:38.a nursery deposit. It works like a season

:17:39. > :17:40.ticket loan coming out of monthly salaries,

:17:41. > :17:42.but tax free. Here's our political

:17:43. > :17:52.correspondent Karl Mercer. When you're this old, bunny ears and

:17:53. > :17:59.bubbles on a bit more important than to bank balances. But it's what

:18:00. > :18:03.happens when patrons to say to go back to work that the mayor has

:18:04. > :18:09.addressed today -- parents. He says parents need help finding a deposit

:18:10. > :18:12.for a nursery place. So he is offering loans to all workers under

:18:13. > :18:18.his control to do just that and encouraging other firms to follow

:18:19. > :18:27.suit. We know many parents face a barrier, darting a new job or

:18:28. > :18:29.returning to work. A lot of childminders charge fees and

:18:30. > :18:41.deposits in advance which can be a real barrier. any financial help,

:18:42. > :18:45.especially with twins, is amazing. It would mean that a lot of people

:18:46. > :18:53.would be struggling because you've spent all your pay and you might be

:18:54. > :18:56.able to go back to work. One of the reasons it's difficult to go back to

:18:57. > :19:00.work if you don't have the cash to pay for the deposit upfront. There's

:19:01. > :19:09.enough silly that is offering half-price discount but that's just

:19:10. > :19:12.to reserve a place. Is not doable for most families. A lot of my

:19:13. > :19:24.friends are freelancers as well and can't get the work for the ugly and

:19:25. > :19:40.then they don't have the work guaranteed -- the outlay. Deposits

:19:41. > :19:55.can be up to ?1500 but that the issue -- issue is to allow parents

:19:56. > :19:59.to stay in work. Those representing smaller firms warn about putting too

:20:00. > :20:02.much burden on the businesses themselves. Small businesses can

:20:03. > :20:05.about the cost of living in London for their staff but they also cared

:20:06. > :20:08.about the cost of doing business and even though they would get their

:20:09. > :20:12.money back eventually, the problem is finding the money up front

:20:13. > :20:15.because for many smaller businesses on tight margins, they just don't

:20:16. > :20:23.have a spear however many thousands of pounds that it would be to take

:20:24. > :20:25.part in this -- spare. the mayor hopes bigger firms will follow the

:20:26. > :20:29.lead. Next, it's one of London's

:20:30. > :20:31.most historic buildings, but you've probably never

:20:32. > :20:33.heard of it. The Charterhouse will open

:20:34. > :20:35.to the public for the first Our arts correspondent Brenda

:20:36. > :20:51.Emmanus has been taking a look. London is blessed with some hidden

:20:52. > :20:55.treasures, places and buildings tucked away from the hubbub of urban

:20:56. > :20:59.life that still make up the fabric of our history. The Charterhouse

:21:00. > :21:06.year on the east side of Smithfield is a true gem. This is the complex

:21:07. > :21:16.has been many things, a monastery, he chewed or mansion, a school and

:21:17. > :21:22.an alms house -- Tudor and it opens for the first time in several

:21:23. > :21:28.hundred years. It tells the story of London from the Black death in 1348

:21:29. > :21:34.to the present day. It was bought by a man called Walter Mani who used

:21:35. > :21:38.the ground as a pet for victims of the Black death and he then founded

:21:39. > :21:49.a monastery on the site which host 24 monks. Today the Charterhouse is

:21:50. > :21:56.home to community of milk -- male pensioners known as Brothers. Thomas

:21:57. > :21:59.Sutton was the man who founded the charity in 1611 and it's because of

:22:00. > :22:02.him the school and alms house were founded. At the time of his death,

:22:03. > :22:08.he was known as the Richard Commoner in the whole country and had started

:22:09. > :22:11.his life as a servant to the Howard and Dudley families, both wealthy

:22:12. > :22:16.Tudor dynasty is, then he made money through his coalmines in Durham and

:22:17. > :22:27.we see many remainders of his wealth and his crest around the site. --

:22:28. > :22:40.reminders. This is also used as a location for films from Downton

:22:41. > :22:49.Abbey through to Taboo starring Tom Hardy. This cloister was named after

:22:50. > :22:53.the joke of Norfolk, who built the ceiling to get to his real tennis

:22:54. > :22:58.court at the end. It was converted into a school and the boys from the

:22:59. > :23:01.Charterhouse School would play football at year. Interesting fact,

:23:02. > :23:08.it was on this spot that the offside rule as we know it was born. The

:23:09. > :23:12.principal historic buildings of the Charterhouse were damaged during the

:23:13. > :23:18.Blitz. They were restored between 1950 and 1959. The site now enters a

:23:19. > :23:24.new chapter with part of the building open to visitors. It's a

:23:25. > :23:27.really exciting phase in our history and in partnership with the Museum

:23:28. > :23:30.of London we have opened this new museum which the public can visit

:23:31. > :23:33.from Friday onwards. It tells the story of the site through the people

:23:34. > :23:39.who have lived, worked can be associated with it and it is full of

:23:40. > :23:44.objects both from our own collections and from lending

:23:48. > :23:48.insight into the role that the Charterhouse played in key moments

:23:49. > :23:50.in British history. Let's get a check on the weather

:23:51. > :24:07.and Chris Fawkes has joined us. We've had three days of faulty

:24:08. > :24:18.weather which has coast delays at airports. The fog has moved up. We

:24:19. > :24:25.have got a lot of cloud. The cloud and murkiness, there's a lot more of

:24:26. > :24:30.it to come overnight tonight from Europe and into tomorrow so don't

:24:31. > :24:34.expect to see any sunshine. There's a lot of cloud through the night

:24:35. > :24:38.which is thick enough to give us drizzle and the odd snowflake. No

:24:39. > :24:47.accumulation but it will be a cold night. Even in the centre of town,

:24:48. > :24:52.things will get quite icy tomorrow morning. A miserable day all in all.

:24:53. > :24:55.A lot of low cloud and visibility won't be too bad on account of the

:24:56. > :25:00.brisk winds but it is the winds you will most notice if you're out and

:25:01. > :25:07.about, dragging in continental air. The skydive to Brighton later but it

:25:08. > :25:11.will stay cold, temperatures just above freezing. But it will feel

:25:12. > :25:15.like it is below freezing because of the wind. A subtle change with the

:25:16. > :25:19.weather for the end of the week and on Friday, air is still coming from

:25:20. > :25:23.the south but more from the way of Biscay so things should turn milder.

:25:24. > :25:26.We are looking at showers moving from the south, still some fairly

:25:27. > :25:34.strong winds around but it won't be as cold. Nine Celsius by the end of

:25:35. > :25:40.the day and it is just showers so not heavy rain. Into the weekend, we

:25:41. > :25:43.are looking at some rain, a change to our weather pattern and we start

:25:44. > :25:48.to see the Atlantic exerting its influence. Breezy conditions for

:25:49. > :25:52.Saturday and a band of rain will be pushing its way through, followed by

:25:53. > :25:55.brighter skies in the afternoon, temperature is around 10 Celsius and

:25:56. > :25:56.it should be dry on Sunday, turning cooler and fresher. That's how the

:25:57. > :26:00.weather is shaping up. That's it for now,

:26:01. > :26:02.thanks for joining us. Plenty more on our

:26:03. > :26:04.website and on Facebook. From me and all the team here,
