:04:33. > :04:36.my face. This type of crime was once considered by police as a relatively
:04:37. > :04:41.rare but over the last six years there has been an upward trend.
:04:42. > :04:45.Figures obtained by BBC London have revealed acid attacks are now at

:05:15. > :05:19.readily available. I was able to buy a bottle with no questions asked. It
:05:20. > :05:23.is the cause of this that acidic substances are being used by some

:07:28. > :07:31.and misunderstood religious practices in the country,

:07:34. > :07:35.could not be further I did not feel at
:07:36. > :07:38.all under pressure. I was able to just speak
:07:39. > :07:41.and I opened up to Mrs Hassan more than I have to anybody,
:07:42. > :07:47.more than I have to my own family. Clearly, Mariam has benefited
:07:48. > :07:49.from the work of a sharia Council. It is also now one of 20 councils
:07:50. > :07:55.that have signed up to a new code To ensure best practice
:07:56. > :07:58.and minimum standards. The whole concept of sharia councils
:07:59. > :08:00.were so unstructured and because there has been nobody
:08:01. > :08:04.controlling, nobody watching, no accountability, people have been
:08:05. > :08:07.able to setup sharia Council in the backroom of a mosque,
:08:08. > :08:10.of the house, and just say I am a sharia Council,
:08:11. > :08:12.I will deal with the community around me and then be able
:08:13. > :08:15.to say what they like and if they have an interpretation
:08:16. > :08:18.of Islamic law that is quite misogynistic, that is quite harsh,
:08:19. > :08:20.that is quite violent, That's why she considers this
:08:21. > :08:23.new code of conduct part of the modernising agenda
:08:24. > :08:32.led by this man. Among many measures all ruling
:08:33. > :08:34.will be now in English The pre-eminence of English civil
:08:35. > :08:38.law will be reinforced as well. In the comfort of Regents Park
:08:39. > :08:41.mosque, he says that a religious training for scholars is key,
:08:42. > :08:45.making it harder for about he deems training for scholars is key,
:08:46. > :08:51.making it harder for what he deems cultural practices that can too
:08:52. > :08:53.often force women to return A lot of these criticisms,
:08:54. > :08:57.they are not criticisms of the law, they are criticisms of the conduct
:08:58. > :09:01.and one of the things we're trying to do is to eradicate that conduct
:09:02. > :09:05.and those procedures. There are, though, still many
:09:06. > :09:07.who are unconvinced. The government reviewing
:09:08. > :09:10.the integration last year included claims some councils promote
:09:11. > :09:12.extremist values and Others ask why there are so few
:09:13. > :09:17.women scholars who sit Despite the criticism and concern
:09:18. > :09:22.today is still significant, marking as it does how the leading
:09:23. > :09:26.sharia councils are themselves trying to ensure they are as fair
:09:27. > :09:28.and transparent as a candidate whilst remaining true
:09:29. > :09:32.to the teachings of the Koran. And Alex, there is a wider context
:09:33. > :09:48.to the timing of this Yes, an array of reports are
:09:49. > :09:51.currently underway in Parliament. The Home Office has one, the home
:09:52. > :09:54.affairs select committee is undergoing one which is due to
:09:55. > :09:59.report back any day and an independent peer is pushing through
:10:00. > :10:03.a bill through parliament trying to force sharia councils to be subject
:10:04. > :10:07.to the same equality legislation as many other public bodies. The effect
:10:08. > :10:11.of that would be to end that disparity between women having to go
:10:12. > :10:15.to sharia councils and a divorce that is contested and men currently
:10:16. > :10:18.not having to repeat last majority of sharia councils. I spoke to her
:10:19. > :10:23.today and she explained why even with this code of conduct more
:10:24. > :10:25.reform is needed. There is a lot of evidence that there's a lot of
:10:26. > :10:28.pressure from some of sharia councils to send money back to
:10:29. > :10:32.marriages in which they are suffering abuse and one of the
:10:33. > :10:37.arguments in the year must not bring shame on the family, shame on the
:10:38. > :10:43.community -- to send women back. So many women upset arrives to stay in
:10:44. > :10:45.abusive relationships. This is why this announcement of a code of
:10:46. > :10:49.conduct is so significant today. It covers around two thirds of the
:10:50. > :10:54.sharia councils across the country. It has been led by a macro councils
:10:55. > :10:58.here in London Dan assures willingness to both accept that
:10:59. > :11:01.reform is needed and be in charge of that reform process. It may be too
:11:02. > :11:05.little too late because there is a sense I think within government that
:11:06. > :11:09.regulation may now be coming from government itself but we will see.
:11:10. > :11:11.We've heard much about the success of London's technology sector,
:11:12. > :11:14.in relation to their European rivals.
:11:15. > :11:18.But a group of delegates from Paris have come to the capital,
:11:19. > :11:20.with the aim of luring companies in Financial Technology,
:11:21. > :11:30.known as Fintech, across the Channel.
:11:31. > :11:38.We can cross to Alice who has got more on this for us. The Fintech
:11:39. > :11:46.sector is the fastest growing sector in the UK economy. It contributed to
:11:47. > :11:48.put ?2 billion in 2015 and that is a fact not overlooked by our European
:11:49. > :11:53.competitors and that is why these delegates from Paris have been sent
:11:54. > :11:58.here to London for the second time in just six weeks to try and sell
:11:59. > :12:04.the merits of the French capital. And how will they try and persuade
:12:05. > :12:07.them? Well, they will make the point to the company is based here that
:12:08. > :12:10.once we leave the European Union, they will no longer be able to claim
:12:11. > :12:13.that they had a European headquarters. More importantly they
:12:14. > :12:18.will be able to point out that they will no longer have access to the
:12:19. > :12:21.European single market. How successful will they be? Well, here
:12:22. > :12:26.in London we have a history on our side. We have long been nurturing
:12:27. > :12:30.the Fintech talent and specialist, not to mention the fact that there
:12:31. > :12:34.will always be banks here and where there are banks, there will be a
:12:35. > :12:37.need for financial technology. That said, there will be some who fear
:12:38. > :12:41.this potential threat to this thriving sector. Many thanks.

:20:40. > :20:41.amidst plans to redevelop As Sarah Harris reports,
:20:42. > :20:55.some see it as a landmark, A's been patched on high, guarding

:21:07. > :21:10.its namesake town of Catford in south-east London. They should not
:21:11. > :21:15.remove it. The matter how much they want to commercialise Catford, this
:21:16. > :21:19.is what Catford is, that is a heritage for Catford. No, no,
:21:20. > :21:28.because if you are looking to have a big shopping complex, you don't want
:21:29. > :21:34.something say, that's outdated. A bit of a beast when unit at! It is

:21:52. > :21:55.association with Cats goes back for centuries according to a local
:21:56. > :21:59.historian. It is a medieval name. It dates back to when this area was
:22:00. > :22:04.part of the great North Road and just here was part of the fraud and
:22:05. > :22:12.the cat is the old English for cat coming from the Latin for cat. Cats
:22:13. > :22:21.were here before they were domesticated. Catford town centre is
:22:22. > :22:24.not for a multi-million pound development. Council leaders say the
:22:25. > :22:28.cat will have to be taken down to make way for the bulldozers. I hated
:22:29. > :22:32.but equally people like it. Some people love cats and some people
:22:33. > :22:35.don't. I don't know, it gives a place in name and a focal point and
:22:36. > :22:40.that is what they have focused on, so that is why we need to keep it
:22:41. > :22:44.somewhere where people can see it. 2000 people have already signed the
:22:45. > :22:47.petition to keep Catford's cat just where it is. A final decision on its
:22:48. > :22:50.future home is likely to be taken next year. Sarah Harris, BBC London

:23:08. > :23:09.primary school singing to her using Skype,
:23:10. > :23:23.as Tolu Adeoye reports. Her's was the voice that lifted the
:23:24. > :23:28.spirits of those fighting during the Second World War and coveted
:23:29. > :23:32.families waiting at home. Dame Vera Lynn was born in East Ham to a
:23:33. > :23:35.dressmaker and a plumber and hundreds years ago today. To help
:23:36. > :23:41.mark the milestone, pupils at her old school in East hands gave a very
:23:42. > :23:49.special performance, seeing de novo's most famous song.
:23:50. > :23:58.#. Don't know when, # But I know we'll meet again some
:23:59. > :24:06.sunny day there! # Thank you so much for that it was
:24:07. > :24:13.very well sung. I have very happy memories of my primary school and I
:24:14. > :24:17.do hope that you're happy there now. Elsewhere, permanent tributes were
:24:18. > :24:21.erected to celebrate the occasion. New signs can now be found on three
:24:22. > :24:29.of the borough's streets, including at Dame Vera Lynn's Bath Street. And
:24:30. > :24:36.at Buckingham Palace, they marched to a different tune, the band

:24:43. > :24:44.famous daughter on her 100th birthday. Thank you very much. It
:24:45. > :24:49.was lovely. Many happy returns to Dame Vera
:24:50. > :24:52.Lynn. Before we get a check on the weather
:24:53. > :24:56.- we just wanted to show you this incredible picture of London
:24:57. > :24:59.which is a big hit on social media. It's the view of our city from
:25:00. > :25:04.the International Space Station - 250 miles from earth taken by a Nasa
:25:05. > :25:07.Astronaut. So let's see how the weather here
:25:08. > :25:21.on earth is shaping up this week. Shiny, London, isn't it? Very
:25:22. > :25:25.bright! Yes, and it was very bright down here on earth towards the end
:25:26. > :25:28.of the day at least but we had some horrible rain to contentment in the
:25:29. > :25:31.meantime. The bright weather does not mean it will become them
:25:32. > :25:35.throughout this week, quite the opposite. It is turning colder and
:25:36. > :25:40.it will remain rather breezy as it was today. The cloud that we had
:25:41. > :25:45.brought some rain. You can see some well-defined edge on that cloud.
:25:46. > :25:49.That is the demarcation between the milder air from the east and the
:25:50. > :25:52.cool air from the West now. Today, we did get to 14 Celsius, just
:25:53. > :25:57.clinging onto that milder weather. But, because of weather sweeps in.
:25:58. > :26:01.You might think I am going mad because these winds are
:26:02. > :26:05.south-westerly but the origins of them up across the Canadian Arctic
:26:06. > :26:08.so it is cold air coming in are south-westerly direction. It is
:26:09. > :26:12.kicking in as we go through the night, that 11 Celsius out there at
:26:13. > :26:16.the moment but with the breeze blowing, the skies clearing,
:26:17. > :26:21.temperatures will fall back tonight. It will take a sheltered spot to get
:26:22. > :26:24.a touch of frost locally but it is not at the question was temperatures
:26:25. > :26:27.will be close to freezing and I think you'll notice that the thing
:26:28. > :26:30.tomorrow morning when you are setting off to work, cold air being
:26:31. > :26:33.swept around by the breeze picking up. Some strength in the sun and
:26:34. > :26:36.there will be plenty throughout the morning tomorrow but there will be
:26:37. > :26:40.some cloud and other two shadows into the afternoon. Temperatures to
:26:41. > :26:44.three Celsius where they were today. Wednesday, a pretty horrible day.
:26:45. > :26:49.There will be rain after rush hour that will take time to clear but in
:26:50. > :26:53.compensation to cheer you up, high pressure for the weekend, so it will
:26:54. > :26:57.dry out and settle down but there is a long process before that happens.
:26:58. > :27:01.Some rain around on Thursday, a lot of cloud on Friday, the sun should
:27:02. > :27:08.return for the weekend but it will be too warm. And 13 Celsius, I 13!
:27:09. > :27:12.Thank you. Tonight's main use. Britain will begin the official
:27:13. > :27:16.process of leaving the EE one the 29th of March next week. The reason
:27:17. > :27:19.they will send a letter to the EEC that will trigger up to two years of
:27:20. > :27:24.talks on the terms of Britain's exit. And the Mayor has said he
:27:25. > :27:28.wants a return to neighbourhood policing. Sadiq Khan launched its
:27:29. > :27:31.policing plan today but one that undercuts that make it difficult to
:27:32. > :27:35.keep officer numbers up. That's it for now but if you are in board
