After the brutal attack on a teenager at a bus stop in Croydon -

we hear from people who live and work there.

:00:21.:00:22.

It could have happened anywhere in London or across the country.

:00:23.:00:25.

It's a real tragedy that it should happen anywhere,

:00:26.:00:27.

that this real tragedy should happen in Croydon.

A house worth more ?1 million collapses into rubble

whose unusual house mates have appeared in blockbuster films.

:00:49.:01:02.

Welcome to BBC London News with me, Riz Lateef.

:01:03.:01:10.

Two more people have been charged in connection with the attack on a

:01:11.:01:16.

teenager in Croydon. That makes a total of 16 arrests and seven

:01:17.:01:18.

charges. The 17-year-old Kurdish Iranian boy

:01:19.:01:20.

was beaten at a bus stop and left with a fractured skull and a blood

:01:21.:01:24.

clot on the brain. Gareth Furby has been

to Shrublands Avenue to speak The police tape has gone,

:01:29.:01:31.

but for many in this Shannon Brown has lived

:01:32.:01:35.

on the estate all her life. And is 17 years old,

:01:36.:01:43.

the same age as the boy Because obviously he was a young

:01:44.:01:45.

person, and now he's Everyone has to keep themselves

:01:46.:01:51.

to themselves round here. Waiting today at the bus stop where

:01:52.:02:08.

the victim was allegedly attacked, a mother of five. She says the

:02:09.:02:12.

atmosphere on the estate can be threatening, and once it's late

:02:13.:02:18.

afternoon, she rarely leaves her home. Around for their GP, five

:02:19.:02:24.

o'clock. Because that's when they come out more and stuff. Also walk

:02:25.:02:29.

past the scene today, Patrick, granted asylum after coming to the

:02:30.:02:34.

UK from Sierra Leone. He says he is attacked by five people in Croydon

:02:35.:02:39.

last September after an argument started on a bus. He says his

:02:40.:02:44.

attackers were black. All of a sudden, punching, kicking and things

:02:45.:02:48.

like that. What happened to you? And thinking maybe they are going to

:02:49.:02:51.

stab me. Do you feel safe in Croydon? I feel safe, but...

:02:52.:02:58.

Sometimes it's just scary, anyway. What we've got now on this estate is

:02:59.:03:02.

some new graffiti with a message. But some people are saying this

:03:03.:03:06.

incident had nothing to do with racism. A group of young men we

:03:07.:03:11.

spoke to said the area was multicultural. And one of them said

:03:12.:03:15.

he was Kurdish, and had never had any issues on the estate. Croydon is

:03:16.:03:22.

the base for the HQ of the UK visas and immigration service. Today, the

:03:23.:03:26.

Bishop of Croydon said it would be wrong to see this incident as a

:03:27.:03:31.

reflection of the area. Could've happened anywhere in London or

:03:32.:03:37.

across the country. A real tragedy it should happen anywhere, tragedy

:03:38.:03:40.

it should happen in Croydon, but it's not Croydon is like. Tonight,

:03:41.:03:45.

the condition of the 17-year-old is described as serious stable.

:03:46.:03:50.

Why shops are being urged to close their doors

:03:51.:03:56.

over ?1 million has collapsed into rubble.

:03:57.:04:24.

I would say two thirds of it has collapsed. It happened in the early

:04:25.:04:30.

hours of this morning, and I think we have some pictures, we will show

:04:31.:04:33.

you what this house was like before work started on it. There was

:04:34.:04:38.

actually basement development work, and now windows are hanging out,

:04:39.:04:43.

bricks have fallen down. It looks more like a pile of rubble than a

:04:44.:04:46.

house worth more than ?1 million. I've been speaking to the neighbours

:04:47.:04:50.

around here, and many are shocked and extremely angry. The next-door

:04:51.:04:54.

neighbour actually heard this house falling down in the night.

:04:55.:04:59.

About 1.30, something like that, I hear a big boom.

:05:00.:05:02.

And my dogs started barking, and then my children sort of run

:05:03.:05:05.

from their bedrooms to say that their room was shaking.

:05:06.:05:07.

So I thought, "Oh my gosh, I wonder what happened."

:05:08.:05:09.

So we came out on the little balcony that, and there was dust everywhere.

:05:10.:05:13.

And then my son ran down and we saw with a few other people

:05:14.:05:21.

So it was sort of from then on, the police came

:05:22.:05:27.

I thought it was a couple of cars crashing or something

:05:28.:05:36.

So yeah, it was a bit distressing, but thank God every one's OK.

:05:37.:05:41.

Everyone is OK here, but basement developments right across the

:05:42.:05:46.

capital have been controversial for a number of years. We have seen

:05:47.:05:50.

other houses in London for like this one behind me has. To tell us more

:05:51.:05:59.

about that is Peter from Safer Basements Group based in Barnes.

:06:00.:06:04.

This and the one in barns are extreme examples of what is wrong

:06:05.:06:06.

with the planning process, especially in London where is of

:06:07.:06:11.

accommodation shortages, people are developing and developing. Too

:06:12.:06:17.

often, it happens that the construction method statement isn't

:06:18.:06:23.

being followed. The planning authorities, they issued the

:06:24.:06:26.

planning permission, but they don't follow up. If something happens to

:06:27.:06:31.

the house or the house is next door, they blame building regulations.

:06:32.:06:36.

Nothing to do with planning. Or party wall agreement, nothing to do

:06:37.:06:39.

with planning. So they wipe their hands of it. What do you want to see

:06:40.:06:44.

happen? Should basement developers go ahead? I want to be able to make

:06:45.:06:48.

their house better, that is a right. But they should be safe. What must

:06:49.:06:53.

happen is that construction statements should be followed to the

:06:54.:06:56.

letter. They should be checked, followed up so that we can guarantee

:06:57.:07:03.

that when a building work is going on, be it a basement or anything

:07:04.:07:07.

else, it is safe. Thank you very much for joining us. I actually

:07:08.:07:11.

spoke to Kingston Council early this evening, and have found out that the

:07:12.:07:15.

owners only submitted a building application for this two days ago.

:07:16.:07:19.

So Kingston Council are saying this work was not approved and obviously

:07:20.:07:23.

no safety measures put in place. There will be an investigation.

:07:24.:07:25.

Thank you. A woman has gone on trial over

:07:26.:07:30.

the death of a cyclist Michael Mason was knocked

:07:31.:07:33.

off his bike in February 2014 and died nearly three weeks later

:07:34.:07:37.

from a brain injury. The jury at the Old Bailey was told

:07:38.:07:39.

the case has been brought by a private organisation -

:07:40.:07:42.

a cycling charity - 59-year-old Gail Purcell

from St Albans denies causing death Two men from north London who used

:07:45.:07:48.

a high speed moped to steal mobile phones from pedestrians have been

:07:49.:07:55.

sentenced at Isleworth Fast-moving traffic, back onto the

:07:56.:07:57.

A406. The thieves reached speeds of over

:07:58.:08:07.

90 miles an hour during a police chase through the streets of London

:08:08.:08:11.

- in which they drove towards oncoming traffic

:08:12.:08:13.

on the M11 motorway. 21-year-old Zuriel Hutson was given

:08:14.:08:15.

a two and a half year jail term while his passenger Sharuk Sheraji

:08:16.:08:18.

was sentenced to two years for stealing ten phones

find themselves in need of immediate Well, we can reveal that the number

of these Londoners being housed outside of the capital as far away

:08:31.:08:38.

as Manchester and Glasgow But councils tell us

:08:39.:08:41.

they have no choice because of the soaring

cost of housing. Three years ago, when she was eight

:08:45.:08:45.

months pregnant with her first daughter, her private

:08:46.:08:55.

landlord evicted her. He didn't want children

:08:56.:08:57.

on his property. Desperate, she went to her counsel,

:08:58.:09:00.

who put her in temporary accommodation outside London,

:09:01.:09:03.

in Welwyn Garden City. I really struggled to get

:09:04.:09:12.

used to everything. I was all by myself, pregnant,

almost about to give birth and basically been stripped away

:09:22.:09:23.

in London to help pay the rent. More than 80% of my pay goes

:09:24.:09:27.

towards travelling to work. It's been a nightmare,

:09:28.:09:30.

because everything in my life In 2012-13, around 600 people

:09:31.:09:32.

were put in temporary But by 2015-16, that number had

:09:33.:09:37.

climbed to just over 2000, Some of those might be for a few

:09:38.:09:46.

nights, others like Abigail Although most people are sent

:09:47.:09:51.

to areas just outside of London like Thurrock and Welwyn Hatfield,

:09:52.:09:57.

that's not always the case. Some have put in accommodation as

:09:58.:10:01.

far as Newcastle and even Glasgow. Councils say they have to do

:10:02.:10:06.

this because they've Councils find themselves

:10:07.:10:09.

in an almost impossible position. With literally no accommodation

:10:10.:10:16.

that they can use anywhere nearby, and families who have to be,

:10:17.:10:20.

have a roof over their And the problem is getting

:10:21.:10:24.

bigger, as more people People who are in work who,

:10:25.:10:28.

you know, people would expect to be able to keep a roof

:10:29.:10:38.

over their heads, are finding of their own, the landlord

:10:39.:10:41.

has put the rent up, the market's risen around them,

:10:42.:10:45.

and I just can't find anywhere Abigail does have a house,

:10:46.:10:47.

but after three years away from her family and friends,

she's still waiting to know The new head of the Metropolitan

will now be fined ?50. The bridge had to close

:11:26.:11:27.

for two months last Autumn after a 37-tonne lorry got stuck -

:11:28.:11:32.

the driver had ignored the ban on vehicles weighing

:11:33.:11:34.

more than three tonnes. Hundreds of drivers have been turned

:11:35.:11:36.

away from the crossing We've long heard the argument that

:11:37.:11:39.

shops should close their doors in the Winter to save on energy

:11:40.:11:44.

but what about all year Campaigners say it greatly improve

:11:45.:11:46.

air quality in the store - but most retailers worry it

:11:47.:11:50.

could affect trade, as our Environment Correspondent Tom

:11:51.:11:54.

Edwards has been finding out. It's Europe's busiest

:11:55.:11:58.

shopping street with half On some days, Oxford Street has some

:11:59.:11:59.

of the highest levels of nitrogen It comes from diesel engines

:12:00.:12:08.

from buses and from cabs, and it's not helped due to something

:12:09.:12:14.

called canyoning, where the nitrogen dioxide gets stuck

:12:15.:12:16.

between the buildings. And if you walk down the street

:12:17.:12:20.

you'll notice most of the shops The real health risk is completely

:12:21.:12:26.

invisible around us. Now campaigners think shops should

:12:27.:12:31.

close their doors to reduce energy use and cut the levels

:12:32.:12:34.

of pollution inside. It would make a huge difference

:12:35.:12:39.

to the health risks to both They'd be saving a huge

amount of energy. Most of them are using air

:12:49.:12:51.

shown that pollution in shops can be reduced by up to 30%

:12:52.:12:54.

if the doors are closed. It's very obvious that the shop

is open, it's a very inviting, Marks Spencer says it's

sure that our buildings, the fabric of our buildings,

:13:35.:13:39.

particularly entrances and exits, are sealed well

:13:40.:13:40.

is an important aspect of that. Retail group say they do take

:13:41.:13:43.

pollution seriously and want more We have 200 million customers a year

:13:44.:13:46.

coming to the West End. They have choices where they shop

:13:47.:13:50.

and the environment So of course it's

:13:51.:13:53.

important commercially. Equally, we have 100,000

:13:54.:13:56.

staff who work here, we have a right to help London

:13:57.:13:58.

in terms of better air quality, so I think it's really high

:13:59.:14:01.

on the political agenda. It's equally very high

:14:02.:14:03.

in the boardrooms of a lot Campaigners say closing shop doors

:14:04.:14:06.

is a no-brainer, a simple solution How buying a special edition

:14:07.:14:10.

of the Big Issue could win Its high pressure again this week,

:14:11.:14:22.

but not as we've known it over the last few days. Alex played a few

:14:23.:14:25.

changes to the weather in the forecast later.

:14:26.:14:36.

Is the coffee cup the new plastic bag?

:14:37.:14:38.

When the government put a 5-pence charge on carrier bags,

:14:39.:14:41.

Now a campaign's begun in the square mile to make us recycle

:14:42.:14:44.

Let's join Emma North who's at a recycling plant near Heathrow.

:14:45.:14:53.

If this time yesterday you've just finished a cup of tea or coffee from

:14:54.:15:01.

a copy shop and your name was Natasha, Jerry, John, Henry, well

:15:02.:15:06.

your cup ended up here at this recycling plant near Heathrow. In a

:15:07.:15:11.

minute I will tell you what's going to happen to it in the next few

:15:12.:15:14.

days. First, let's find out why come this time tomorrow that gentleman

:15:15.:15:17.

over there is going to have a much bigger job on his hands as this

:15:18.:15:25.

place fills with coffee cups. To some, copy's not just a pick me up,

:15:26.:15:30.

it's become an art form. The more of it we Londoners drink, the more mess

:15:31.:15:37.

we make -- coffee's. We throw away 7 million hot drinks cups a day. The

:15:38.:15:41.

capital is responsible for more than its fair share. But the plastic

:15:42.:15:44.

coating that makes them watertight also means you can't put them in the

:15:45.:15:49.

normal recycling bin. So now they have their own special place. These

:15:50.:15:53.

yellow bins are popping up all over the square mile, with this man

:15:54.:15:56.

confident we will take to recycling our cups as easy as mixing beans

:15:57.:16:01.

with water. We have to give consumers a chance to do the right

:16:02.:16:04.

thing. Offer them the facilities, make it easy them to recycle their

:16:05.:16:10.

cups before we start stabbing levies on things. Have faith in people to

:16:11.:16:13.

do the right thing. Do you have faith that people will do this?

:16:14.:16:18.

Absolutely. We should give people a chance. It's not the first effort

:16:19.:16:22.

made to solve a comparatively recent problem. This cafe cut the price of

:16:23.:16:26.

their drinks for anyone who use their own clock. Did it work? Is not

:16:27.:16:30.

as successful as I would hope, but we do sell our own cups, but they

:16:31.:16:39.

honestly weren't buying as much as we hoped they would. This chemical

:16:40.:16:45.

engineer uses his skills as a recycling entre Pena. Auto-makers

:16:46.:16:49.

ditch the cup? Does carrot or stick work better? Definitely a stick,

:16:50.:16:56.

this is what people respond to. If they try to incentivise people, and

:16:57.:16:59.

we have tried this many times before, we gets more behaviour

:17:00.:17:02.

shifts. If we introduce a slight penalty to people's purchasing

:17:03.:17:06.

habits, then they respond almost immediately, even for a small

:17:07.:17:10.

amount. Nothing is going to make a stitch are flat whites and Bilates,

:17:11.:17:15.

but with fewer than one in 100 drinks cups being resided cult,

:17:16.:17:18.

there is ample opportunity for us and the cups to make a fresh start

:17:19.:17:25.

-- being recycled. And this is what a fresh start could look like. It is

:17:26.:17:31.

a trade, but made with old coffee cups and old kettles and the insides

:17:32.:17:35.

of washing machines. James is from the company that has helped

:17:36.:17:38.

establish scheme. James, you have to ask, why hasn't this been done

:17:39.:17:43.

before? Because it's difficult to collect separately all these

:17:44.:17:46.

different items of recycling, and people generally want to mix

:17:47.:17:50.

everything together. What challenges do you find when trying to deal with

:17:51.:17:53.

this kind of thing? As we see, we have to hand sought the cups at the

:17:54.:17:58.

moment. One of the largest problems is contamination, getting our

:17:59.:18:00.

customers to keep everything separated and clean and free of

:18:01.:18:04.

contaminants so we can effectively recycle it. How far do you hope to

:18:05.:18:08.

take this scheme? We hope that this scheme is the blueprint for

:18:09.:18:10.

something much bigger and broadening into further

:18:11.:18:34.

into London and every major city in the UK, and possibly even worldwide.

:18:35.:18:36.

James, thank you very much. The scheme lasts in the Square mile for

:18:37.:18:39.

the next month. If you have a drink in a disposable cup and see one of

:18:40.:18:42.

those yellow bins, put your cup in it. The plan is that if this works,

:18:43.:18:45.

it's just a pilot scheme, it could roll out to the rest of the capital.

:18:46.:18:50.

The Big Issue - London's homeless magazine -

:18:51.:18:52.

which is now sold in 75 different countries.

:18:53.:18:54.

Well this month there is a special edition -

:18:55.:18:56.

filled with work from some of our leading contemporary artists.

:18:57.:18:59.

And for ten readers, the opportunity to win

:19:00.:19:00.

For many in W1, he's a fixture, selling The Big Issue

:19:01.:19:07.

I was a relative stranger in London at the time.

:19:08.:19:12.

As well as making a couple of pounds which was much

:19:13.:19:15.

needed in order to get by, it provides a social

:19:16.:19:19.

network and it encourages you to engage with people.

:19:20.:19:24.

For something that seemed very negative to begin with,

:19:25.:19:26.

you know, it really has been a positive experience.

:19:27.:19:30.

And this issue of The Big Issue is bigger than most.

:19:31.:19:35.

That's because it's been a guest edited by a big name

:19:36.:19:40.

in the contemporary art world, Charming Baker.

:19:41.:19:42.

Today, he's signing copies to launch this edition filled

:19:43.:19:45.

with special contributions from other well-known artists.

:19:46.:19:48.

I was quite overwhelmed by just how generous the artists were.

:19:49.:19:54.

I know from being in artist, and some of the artists I know,

:19:55.:19:57.

we get asked to do stuff all the time, and some

:19:58.:20:00.

And I was really worried asking people, and that's why I tried

:20:01.:20:03.

Not asking people to give money or give art.

:20:04.:20:07.

And actually when I flicked through the pages,

:20:08.:20:14.

You go, "Oh, we've got that person, oh, of course, they did it."

:20:15.:20:18.

Celebrated artists like Jake and Dinos Chapman

:20:19.:20:19.

And for the founder of The Big Issue himself,

:20:20.:20:23.

a fan of Tai Chi as well as art, painting meant he was able to go

:20:24.:20:26.

from a life on the streets to a life in the House of Lords.

:20:27.:20:30.

We're living in a world where semi-people are asking

:20:31.:20:38.

questions about the price of housing, the price of

:20:39.:20:40.

And I think a lot of people are feeling the crunch.

There are ten golden tickets to be found.

He's the man who's turned his passion for

Mark Aimey trains venomous snakes, alligators and lizards -

:21:31.:21:33.

so they can be used in films alongside the likes

Sarah Harris has been to meet him and his unusual house mates.

:21:37.:21:40.

They are not the most conventional of housemates,

:21:41.:21:43.

but that's exactly how Mark Amy likes it.

:21:44.:21:45.

He shares his semi in the village of Bovingdon in Hertfordshire

:21:46.:21:48.

with dozens of exotic animals and he wouldn't have

:21:49.:21:50.

He says visitors take it in their stride.

:21:51.:21:53.

Most of my friends and acquaintances are animal people.

:21:54.:21:55.

So it's unusual to get non-animal people round.

:21:56.:21:57.

Usually they get quite excited and think, what's in here?

:21:58.:21:59.

You know, they are like me, they are like-minded people.

:22:00.:22:02.

Hello, Dave, let's see if you're OK today.

:22:03.:22:06.

Now Mark is preparing to go on a tour with his animals.

:22:07.:22:09.

Big Dave is another one of his reptilian friends.

:22:10.:22:12.

He was rescued after his owner died, bonding with unusual pets happened

:22:13.:22:16.

I think I was about the only one, the only kid who got excited

:22:17.:22:23.

Which is a thing which is about that sort of size.

:22:24.:22:27.

I said, dad, dad, guess what I found?

:22:28.:22:35.

Training animals has put Mark in demand in the film world.

:22:36.:22:42.

Bond, Harry Potter, and Nanny McPhee movies have

all featured his proteges, a sequence in Casino Royale

:22:45.:22:46.

The lighting is so bright that the actual snake couldn't see.

:22:47.:22:50.

So sometimes it was striking and biting its own shadow

:22:51.:22:55.

on the floor, which is a behaviour I don't want it to do.

:22:56.:22:59.

So I ended up having to put my face very close to the cobra so it had

There are, he says, some relaxing moments at home,

but he claims adventure is never far when your housemates look like this.

On that note - this sounds like the start of a joke: why

Clover is one of two donkeys at Hackney City Farm supposed to be

:23:22.:23:30.

starring in an Easter procession for the local church.

:23:31.:23:35.

Sadly though, she can't because she seems to have a phobis

:23:36.:23:38.

of puddles, drain covers and anything in the road.

:23:39.:23:45.

Let's get a check on the weather now with Wendy.

:23:46.:23:57.

You aren't afraid of puddles. Can you imagine a weather presenter

:23:58.:24:03.

afraid of puddles? Poor little thing. Never mind. No puddles today

:24:04.:24:09.

though, so a good day, just drain covers to worry about. In fact,

there are so many beautiful spring sunny shots today from the weather

:24:18.:24:21.

the beautiful blooms at Knightsbridge with the fluffy

:24:22.:24:24.

cumulus clouds over top. We are going to have yet more high pressure

:24:25.:24:28.

as we go through this week. However, it will come with a few changes as

:24:29.:24:33.

well. That is best explained on the satellite picture. We started quite

:24:34.:24:37.

murky today, a lot of mellow cloud around. You can see that on the

:24:38.:24:41.

picture. It melted away, and then we had beautiful sunshine. -- a lot of

:24:42.:24:46.

low cloud. Next we have this cloud. That will work in overnight. It's a

:24:47.:24:52.

cold front, and it will bring us a little bit of rain into the early

:24:53.:24:56.

hours of the morning. Then pressure builds behind it once again, but by

:24:57.:25:01.

this point and for the rest of the week there will be a bit more cloud

:25:02.:25:05.

trapped in that high pressure, so we might not have as much sunshine as

:25:06.:25:09.

over the last few days. At the moment, we have clear skies. They

:25:10.:25:13.

will continue through the night as well. Up to about midnight. The

:25:14.:25:18.

temperature will fall away as a result after midnight, but level out

:25:19.:25:22.

as the cloud comes in and the cold front arrives. Along that there will

:25:23.:25:26.

be one or two moderate bursts of rain into the early hours.

:25:27.:25:30.

Temperatures are settling at a fairly mild 7-9. There will be rain

:25:31.:25:35.

around first thing before the morning rush hour, particularly

south of London. Then it lingers and fizzles out as we go through the

:25:40.:25:43.

day, leaving us quite grisly into the afternoon. Plenty of cloud

:25:44.:25:48.

around, quite grey skies. Temperatures lower than today, we

got to 17 or 18. 12 or 14 tomorrow. If you're very lucky north-west of

London, we might see some late sparkles of sunshine. We'll be

clutching at those buckles of sunshine through

the west of the week. Here is Wednesday. Moreover breeze, I think

the computer being pessimistic on the cloud amount. We could get some

bright spells, particularly in the mornings before we start to see it

clouding over a bit. Generally speaking, dry and settled conditions

:26:21.:26:23.

through the end of the week and into the weekend. There will be light

:26:24.:26:26.

wind. Temperatures not too bad, feeling quite mild. I don't think

:26:27.:26:29.

we'll have as much sunshine as we have enjoyed throughout today

:26:30.:26:31.

especially. Wasn't it lovely? Absolutely gorgeous. But as you say,

:26:32.:26:35.

not too bad. Ten people have been killed

:26:36.:26:38.

and around 20 others injured in an explosion on the metro system

:26:39.:26:41.

in St Petersburg. Russian security forces also

:26:42.:26:43.

disabled a homemade device found at another underground station

suggestions of a military conflict between and Spain over Gibraltar.

Yesterday it was suggested the Prime Minister would defend Gibraltar

during the Brexit negotiations. 16 people have been arrested and seven

charged in connection with an attack on a 17-year-old in south London on

Friday. The team suffered a fractured skull and a blood clot on

the brain. He is said to be recovering. Members of the Aslef

union have projected the latest proposal put forward -- rejected.

:27:27.:27:33.

The rail union said it was a hugely disappointing outcome.

:27:34.:27:35.

That's it for now, so thanks for joining us.

:27:36.:27:37.

I'll be back later though during the ten o'clock news.

:27:38.:27:39.

From me and all the team here - do enjoy your evening.
