The residents who claim the noise is ruining their lives. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
It's impossible to sleep and my GP, also my colleagues and friends, have | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
expressed a lot of concern seeing the deterioration of my health. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
We'll hear what transport bosses have to say. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
A man in his 50s has died after a suspected gas explosion | :00:25. | :00:28. | |

the new installation throwing light on how clean the Thames is. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
And why this giant puppet took a walk round Trafalgar Square today. | :00:42. | :00:59. | |
Good evening, welcome to BBC London News with me, Riz Lateef. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
First tonight, the dark side of the night tube. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Headaches, tinnitus and sleepless nights | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
City Hall's Environment Committee heard today how brought on for some | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
residents by the arrival of the 24 hour service last August. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Transport bosses, who have also been questioned, | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
have promised to investigate any complaints. | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
A service every 15 minutes at weekends and a promise to transport | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Londoners's lies. Some stayed the night she has ruined us. In Ian's | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
health above the Jubilee line, we are using an app to get a rough idea | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
of how loud the tube is. We have moved out because I am not | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
prepared... There you go. That is on the phone app. Above the Victoria | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
line, she cannot move -- afford to move out. I have developed which is, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
I cannot hear properly. I feel noise distortion in my ears. And | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
therefore, I mean, it's very difficult to function in my normal | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
life. The world health organiser said the sound at night should not | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
measure more than 35 decibels. The Londoners who came to City Hall | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
today told of levels above 50 decibel. So the TEFL, how loud is | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
too loud? We have got the world health organisation. We treat each | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
complaint individually and we will look for an engineering solution. We | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
don't set a limit. What threshold do you work to? We don't. The noise is | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
a noise because they are other low-frequency, they can travel | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
through our bones. It is a noise that is difficult to mask out, by | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
playing the radio or defend against by wearing earplugs. The issue is, | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
it is not constant either so we don't really have the ability, and | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
individual living in this area would not have the ability to adapt to it. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
As we get used to living out of a while, it makes us more sensitive to | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
stand in general. What has frustrated some is that their | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears. I think TEFL must start | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
to respond to people quickly and effectively. They need to identify | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
what the problems are and put in place arrangements to fix those | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
problems and tell people what they agreed to do is stick to their | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
promises. -- TFL. TFL says they are dedicated to being a good neighbour. | :03:51. | :04:08. | |
Grinding fastenings and fixing may one day do the job better now, there | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
are warnings that the problem of pollution may not just refer to the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
air that we breathe but to the sounds that surround us also. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
And let's just stay on the subject of the night tube for a moment | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
because there's been some other news about strike action. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
When and why? This is the first time since the night you'd started at the | :04:26. | :04:37. | |
end of last summer that drivers have voted for strike action. They are | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
going to strike over two Saturdays in April. Two out of three Aslef | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
members voted. It is over there job opportunities. They are arguing that | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
the weekend drivers on the night you by being blocked for applied to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
full-time jobs and they do not get overtime. They say they are giving | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
transport for London more than the usual seven days warning in order to | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
do this because I think they want to get this sorted out. The strikes are | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
going to happen on the night of the eighth and 29th of April, to | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Saturday nights into Sunday morning. No no cheaper than if the strike | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
goes ahead. Aslef say they have lots of time just drop the track. London | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Underground say they have always been operating the tube under an | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
agreement that they came to with the unions themselves. If the strike | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
goes ahead, those dates, the eighth and 29th of April. Thank you very | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
much. We are hearing tonight that a man | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
has died after an explosion It happened earlier this afternoon | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
and Dan Freedman is in Highgate It was around two o'clock this | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
afternoon in this very quiet part of north London, very close to | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
Hampstead Heath that residents say that about two o'clock they heard a | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
sound that sounded like a bomb going off. | :05:59. | :05:58. | |
I just heard a massive explosion and I could feel it | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
almost in my fingers and, yeah, I didn't see anything but | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
I ran up here to the balcony to have a look and I couldn't see anything | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
But I must say my first thought was it sounded like a car bomb or it | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
I spoke to one of the police officers there who said he | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
had, that on-site, they were cutting up | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
a gas tank and there was an | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
The air ambulance attended and a man was taken to hospital with | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
life-threatening injuries. We have heard subsequently in the last hour | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
or so, police have confirmed that a man in his 50s has now died. There | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
have been no arrests in connection with this incident but the Health | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
and Safety Executive have been informed. No doubt an investigation | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
will follow. It is worth saying that residents had met with the developer | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
whilst this development was ongoing, raising concerns about safety and | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
they were given assurances that underground tanks on the site, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
believed to contain gas, would be dealt with safely. Of course, a long | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
way to go to find out what happened here today. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
With the latest therefrom Highgate, thank you. | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
You're watching BBC London News, coming up later in the programme: | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
I know this sounds odd but if you join me in a few minutes, | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
I will show you how the side of that building is | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
bringing art and science together from tonight. | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
A Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with four offences, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
including common assault, and possession of a bladed weapon, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
after apparently smashing the windscreen of a car in | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Video footage of the incident in Camden last September | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
It appears to show PC Joshua Savage attacking the vehicle | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
after repeatedly telling the driver to "get out of the car". | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Scotland Yard says he remains on "restricted duties". | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Croydon has cut all funding for IVF treatment. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
It's the first London borough to do this, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
the decision has been taken by the Croydon Clinical | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
The CCG is trying to save millions of pounds after it was placed | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
in financial special measures last year. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Now all this week, we've been exploring the great | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
divide between London and the rest of the UK, | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
It highlighted how different parts of the country | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Is it time for London to change the way t runs its affairs? | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
So tonight, what can we learn from Wales, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
which has a fraction of the capital's population | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Our political editor Tim Donovan reports from Wrexham. | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
In Wales, things like education and health have | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
On the question of financial freedoms and tax-raising powers, | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
Control of business rates has already been handed over, stamp duty | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
will follow next year, though it will be called | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
something different - a land transaction tax. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
And the Welsh are also set to have the | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
On the outskirts of Wrexham, this firm | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
provides telephone answering and other office services. | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
Devolving powers for business rates is a brilliant thing. | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
It means that local regions can encourage the right | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
support the right businesses and basically help to make them | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
On the personal side of things, in terms of the stamp, in | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
terms of income taxes, I don't see that as a benefit at all. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
It's a short-term solution, it is going to | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
incentivise people to move into areas of basically lower tax and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
then exactly the same people, they will go somewhere else | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
But would Londoners want any tax changes, | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
what's the evidence from Wrexham on that income tax option? | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
I think the National Health Service and | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
education, I would be quite content to pay more income tax in order to, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
No, I don't agree that they should have | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
If it helps the economy, I'm all for it. | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Of course I am, anything to help the lost economy. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
I've lived in Wales for most of my adult life but | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
I think that the powers should remain with the central government | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
across the whole country for tax-raising purposes. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
Wrexham, like Wales as a whole, voted to leave but | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
with the chance of Scotland and Northern Ireland breaking away, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
some here understand the calls for London | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
London, as a stand-alone economy, would probably stand up very well. | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
Some people wonder whether it should be allowed to do that. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Yes, well, you could certainly ask that | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
I think in the long run, that is not the way to go. | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
In the long run, I think there is still a | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
very strong case for the UK to be a unified econony. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
And London's taxpayers subsidise Wales by about ?3 billion | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
a year, according to the London School of Economics. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
People in London need to realise that | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
absolutely, you have got an enormous amount | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
of wealth cooped up within | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
that, within that city and there is an obligation under the whole of | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Britain that we need to support and develop opportunities outside. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
We should not remove those kind of safety nets and we shouldn't... | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
There is a principle of solidarity as well. | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
Brexit may have answered one big question but it's raised others | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
within the UK about the relationship of different regions and letting | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
them raise and spend more of what they need. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Tower Hamlets council could have all its powers | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
restored following two years of government intervention. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Its powers were removed in 2014 under its previous | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
mayor, Lutfur Rahman, following an inspection by auditors. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
They found cases of malpractice and a failure to provide value | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
for money, and government commissioners were sent | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
The new Mayor, John Biggs, welcomed today's announcement | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
and said the council had since undergone a "complete | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Police are warning people to look out for tiny cameras | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
which are being used by fraudsters to capture PIN numbers. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
The cameras are no bigger than a pinhead and are often | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
positioned either above the screen or facing the pinpad. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
They've been spotted at four cash machines in central London - | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Funding for a multimillion-pound refurbishment of Buckingham Palace | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
Officials say the essential work, costing almost ?370 million | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
and set to take ten years, is needed to avoid the risk | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Ageing cables, lead pipes, wiring and boilers will be replaced, | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
Next, it's a collaboration of art and science, | :12:34. | :12:45. | |
In the past few minutes, lights have been switched on, | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
on the Sea Containers building whose display will vary according | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
He can tell us more about how it works. | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
Lets face it, you, me and millions of Londoners are guilty of taking | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
back, the River Thames, the granted. Even though our great city has | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
developed and been built along it for centuries. That is why the light | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
on the side of that building which have come on over the last few | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
minutes, they are there to change all that. It is a work of art by | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
renowned artists, on the other hand, you have got to think of it like | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
this. Think of it as a giant water testing kit, testing the cleanliness | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
of the water that blows just below it. It sounds a bit mad, well, it | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
did to me. Let's find out more about this. Is it a work of genius or is | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
it a bit nuts? It is about telling Londoners about the health of their | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
own river. At the moment, the lights are on, what does that tell us about | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
the river tonight? The artwork has three different states, declining, | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
moderate and improving. Right now, it is showing the River health is | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
improving. What it does do different levels of animation, it tells you | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
about the health of the river itself. I was looking at how dirty | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
the River Thames can get with plastic bottles buried in an all | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
sorts of rubbish which Londoners on purpose and in that do you think the | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
lights can change the way Londoners behave? We hope this installation | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
will really make Londoners think more about the health of their | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
River. What kind of things should we be looking at changing? In order to | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
help our River? There are a number of things that Londoners can do, one | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
of the most important things is making sure we do not later and we | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
don't accidentally briefings into the river itself. Do you see that as | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
a work of art or an environmentally friendly project going on? It is | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
beautiful. It is both, it is both. It is an installation that we hope | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
is beautiful and Londoners enjoy but also gives us information about the | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
health of the river itself. It certainly does, this is a permanent | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
installation on the south bank of the river which use the from | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
embankment will stop you will be able to see it going up and down | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
every day, see how clean or not the tensors. It will vary every day. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Hopefully ill get to change the way we are when it comes to our | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
environmental health. The question is, how bright will | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
those light shine? Possibly one of the most | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
bizarre things you'll see, an improvised performance by actors | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
for an audience of animals. We will tell you what it is all | :15:39. | :15:50. | |
about later. So today's the day when thousands | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
of young people have been taking part in the annual BBC School Report | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
- and making the news and highlighting stories | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
important to them. Let's hear now from pupils | :16:02. | :16:02. | |
from Park View School in Tottenham and their take | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
on the issue of feminism. Feminism may have negative | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
connotations for some but here at Park View, we have decided | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
to address it without any What exactly inspired | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
you to encourage feminism? It was the young people | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
around me that inspired me to The young girls that I work with, | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
the girls that I teach on They are the reason why | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
I started this campaign. Did you face any obstacles | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
while setting up The campaign has covered | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
everything from working on our girls' self-esteem | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
to encouraging boys to embrace feminism and helping them realise | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
that actually everybody We are promoting feminism | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
by putting up posters This poster campaign | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
involves both students and The most common misconception | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
about feminism is that As a male, do you find | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
it difficult to I think the reality | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
is that not all men of feminism and that | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
I think it's so important for men to | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
express their feminist viewpoints. As a male, do you think it's | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
difficult to express these views on feminism when there's | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
so much opposition? As I try, you know, bringing up | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
the topic of feminism, I always get brushed aside as if, | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
you know, feminism isn't relevant and, you know, | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
it just creates a barrier between my friends' values | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
and my values, sort of, yes. Don't accept this unequal way | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
of treating others every day. Like lesser than inferior, | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
because of the exterior. Open up, widen your range, express | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
yourself, be bold for change. Today here at Park View, we have | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
spent time exploring this issue of gender inequality and we have | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
gathered that regardless of who you And you can find plenty of stories | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
by other young reporters, including pupils grilling | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
the boss of the BBC, just go Now, asking questions in the House | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
of Commons is what many MPs are expected to do, | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
but Dawn Butler is believed to have made history today | :18:19. | :18:21. | |

audience of sheep, pigs These goats have come all the way | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
from Wales for this... Unscripted, unplanned, | :19:21. | :19:38. | |
the performers improvise, | :19:39. | :19:48. | |
depending on how they think We're really interested in seeing | :19:49. | :19:49. | |
whether we can show people that there are different ways | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
of looking at them and having different relationships with them | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
and a different understanding | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
of what they are rather than merely as products, | :19:59. | :20:05. | |

thought we knew about being artists, being thinkers, everything | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
we thought we knew about human-animal relationships | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
was called into question by the presence of these | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
other animals and are really profound and moving and strange | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
and fascinating way. Well, the organisers | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
say they picked this particular warehouse because it had | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
the right light and the right temperature and it is close | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
to a farm in there as they could People are asked to watch and then | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
give their reactions. I'm not sure what I | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
gained except, like, the idea of turning the dynamic | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
relationship of human and animal I felt very nervous, | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
I felt their nervousness which was Literally in their responses | :21:11. | :21:14. | |

influence on the came here in the 12th century, the things about the | :23:05. | :23:07. | |

certainly enough people for a good celebration. It is a big thing | :23:36. | :23:46. | |
nowadays, the influx of Irish people into the UK and London over the past | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
years have been huge. A massive amount of young crowd of people, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
living in Hackney and he's London and we are bringing these people | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
together and showing them that we can offer something that is | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
different from a lot of traditional forums. It just feels like Irish | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
culture is such a big part of London now. Wherever you are spending it, | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
have a very happy day. -- St Patrick's day. | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
It's that time of the evening for a check on the weather | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
Yesterday it felt like spring has sprung. Less so today. Maybe the | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
next few days, the sunshine will be in fairly short supply, a lot of dry | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
weather also. This was the picture to date taken over in high Wycombe, | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
you can see quite cloudy and grey skies. Cooler than it was yesterday, | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
12 Celsius today. 18 Celsius yesterday in the sunshine. Some | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
sunshine around, more towards south-east London. You can see if we | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
run the sequence of the satellite picture how we have this belt of | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
cloud that came down from the Midlands. Tending to break up around | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
the London area so it was more cloudy to the north and the west. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
The cloud thickening actually later this evening, a few spots of rain. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Not any more than that. That will move away, skies will clear later on | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
in the right and it will turn quite chilly. Colder air coming our way. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
In the Chilterns, two or three Celsius. A bit of a chilly start, | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
some sunshine around. The winds will be freshening through the day and as | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
we head to the afternoon, more cloud coming in from the west as well. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Chances are it will still be tried doing daylight hours tomorrow and we | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
were found these temperatures getting around 12 or 13. -- still | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
dry. There is rain on the picture now. A lot of the rain coming on a | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
westerly wind, gets blocked out by the Welsh hills. We could see bits | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
and pieces of rain on Friday evening and Friday night. No greater mags | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
and properly by the time we get to Saturday morning, it will be dry or | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
cloudy. Some brighter spells, a little bit of sunshine perhaps on | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
Saturday. We have to wait until very late in the day disease spots of | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
rain arriving from the north. These are the temperatures. -- to see | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
spots of rain. Temperatures could be as high as 15 Celsius. Maximum | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
temperature on Sunday and into Monday also. Rain not far away, | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
there will be a lot of cloud around as well. Much stronger winds will | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
take the edge off of the temperatures. | :26:30. | :26:37. | |

I was swimming across the Aegean Sea. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
I was a refugee, going from Syria to Germany. | :28:04. | :28:19. | |
