:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight on BBC London News: The shop worker locked up and told he'll be

:00:07. > :00:13.deported despite living in the capital for 26 years.

:00:14. > :00:23.I have allowed two weeks to either sort it out. I could get kicked out.

:00:24. > :00:26.Well, the Mayor has plans to charge you -

:00:27. > :00:30.The officer who lost his life protecting Parliament

:00:31. > :00:33.Tonight his football club, Charlton pays a special tribute

:00:34. > :00:45.And after the success of the movie - how a fringe production

:00:46. > :00:50.of Sweeney Todd has transferred to Manhattan - complete

:00:51. > :01:13.A popular shop worker in North London has told the BBC

:01:14. > :01:16.Stojan Jankovic, known as Stoly, has lived in the capital for 26

:01:17. > :01:19.years, but last week, he found himself locked up

:01:20. > :01:24.The move has shocked residents, and his local MP, who rallied

:01:25. > :01:34.The Home Office says the 52-year-old has no right to be in the UK.

:01:35. > :01:35.Celebrities are tweeting about him including

:01:36. > :01:40.A petition has been signed by thousands and handed

:01:41. > :01:49.They are talking about this man, Stojan Jankovic.

:01:50. > :01:53.No one here in Kentish Town as Stoly.

:01:54. > :02:02.He came here 26 years ago to escape war in the former Yugoslavia.

:02:03. > :02:04.He hasn't been back since because he feared he wouldn't be

:02:05. > :02:12.I haven't actually had any family life for 26 or so years.

:02:13. > :02:15.I haven't sat at the table with my mother, for instance.

:02:16. > :02:17.I haven't been to my dad's funeral or my grandmother's funeral

:02:18. > :02:24.Stoly is living in London illegally but he has been working

:02:25. > :02:29.for the owners of this shop for 14 years.

:02:30. > :02:34.He has a National Insurance number and pays his taxes,

:02:35. > :02:38.so why didn't he sought out proper documents to stay legally?

:02:39. > :02:46.I can speak to you in Serbian or English and we can speak

:02:47. > :02:51.about the weather or geology, however, I can't fill out the forms.

:02:52. > :03:02.Last Thursday, after 26 years Stoly was arrested

:03:03. > :03:04.and taken to this immigration centre in Dorset.

:03:05. > :03:08.He does admit he spent a short time in prison in the 90s for drugs

:03:09. > :03:11.offences which is why he didn't sort out his situation sooner.

:03:12. > :03:16.I'm concerned that the way in which he was detained

:03:17. > :03:20.and the fact that the proposal was to remove him before he had time

:03:21. > :03:24.to take legal advice or make representations.

:03:25. > :03:26.The bare minimum, it must be right for people to make representations

:03:27. > :03:34.and have the opportunity to consult a solicitor.

:03:35. > :03:44.Stoly's Road is the main topic of discussion here and people ask how

:03:45. > :03:51.he is. Customers have offered him legal advice. One even drove him

:03:52. > :03:57.back from Dorset yesterday. Stoly is a part of the heart of the

:03:58. > :04:02.community. He is very encouraging to people. Charming, lovely, funny. I

:04:03. > :04:08.watched him sometimes with elderly people and blind people and he is so

:04:09. > :04:12.kind. Local support may have got him released from detention that he now

:04:13. > :04:14.has two weeks to fight deportation or face leaving the place he calls

:04:15. > :04:16.home. Alpa joins me now, what should

:04:17. > :04:27.people do if they find themselves The Home Office say they do not

:04:28. > :04:32.comment on individual cases but it is interesting because Stoly is one

:04:33. > :04:37.of 400,000 people roughly speaking living illegally in London. That is

:04:38. > :04:41.around half of the number living illegally across the whole country.

:04:42. > :04:46.We have spoken to one immigration lawyer who says there are some

:04:47. > :04:51.things you can do. He advises you should seek legal advice as soon as

:04:52. > :04:56.possible with specifically and -- and immigration adviser. He says be

:04:57. > :05:00.as frank about your case as you can to be immigration adviser who can

:05:01. > :05:04.give you the best advice. He says next to try and work out the most

:05:05. > :05:10.relevant points to build up your case and which category you fit

:05:11. > :05:13.into. He does recognise the Home Office website is confusing, so he

:05:14. > :05:18.understands why people are intimidated by the forms and the

:05:19. > :05:20.things out there that people don't understand. You will be following

:05:21. > :05:22.the case, thank you. Coming up later in the programme:

:05:23. > :05:25.Powering his way to the Commonwealth Games -

:05:26. > :05:27.we hear from the London athlete determined to show the world that

:05:28. > :05:37.anything is possible. Eight further people,

:05:38. > :05:39.including a 15-year-old boy have appeared in court in connection

:05:40. > :05:42.with an alleged attack on a Kurdish-Iranian teenager

:05:43. > :05:45.at a bus stop in Croydon. The 17-year-old is still

:05:46. > :05:47.in intensive care. The local community

:05:48. > :05:48.has been left shocked Let's get more from Ayshea Buksh

:05:49. > :06:09.who's in south London. The attack happened just outside

:06:10. > :06:13.Croydon city centre. Earlier today at the Magistrates' Courts, more

:06:14. > :06:21.people have come through charged in relation to the alleged attack. The

:06:22. > :06:27.Kurdish community is present here in Croydon. The history of the Kurdish

:06:28. > :06:31.people is troubled and is geography is contentious but many people from

:06:32. > :06:34.the Middle East come together and are united in their shock and

:06:35. > :06:42.surprise at what happened to one of their own. He came to the UK in

:06:43. > :06:49.search of a better life but is now in hospital recovering from an

:06:50. > :06:53.alleged violent and racist attack. 17-year-old Mr Ahmed fled the

:06:54. > :06:58.Kurdish region of Iran and travelled across Europe and arrived in Croydon

:06:59. > :07:04.a few months ago. He made friends with this man, fellow Kurd from

:07:05. > :07:11.Iraq. He was with him at the time of the alleged attack on Friday.

:07:12. > :07:17.TRANSLATION: We were rushing to come here for freedom, get visas and

:07:18. > :07:23.working. But now this has happened to us and we are not happy at all in

:07:24. > :07:27.this country. Many asylum seekers have passed through Croydon. This is

:07:28. > :07:34.the Centre that processing asylum claims. Earlier this year, the local

:07:35. > :07:37.citizens UK group organised a welcome for unaccompanied children

:07:38. > :07:43.arriving from Europe after the so-called Calle jungle was

:07:44. > :07:51.disbanded. We had refugee children from Europe coming here and every

:07:52. > :07:56.day there were 200 people out here from local schools, churches and

:07:57. > :08:02.mosques out here to save refugees are welcome. That is the true spirit

:08:03. > :08:06.of Croydon that people welcome to our town. On the night of the

:08:07. > :08:11.attack, they were on their way to hang out with fellow Kurds in West

:08:12. > :08:15.Croydon. Other young Kurdish man I spoke to off-camera told me they

:08:16. > :08:21.have had some problems with locals before but never anything this

:08:22. > :08:27.extreme. He says he is still shaken up by what has happened and wants to

:08:28. > :08:31.go back to Iraq to feel safe. TRANSLATION:, when we were kids we

:08:32. > :08:38.were hoping to come here. Now, we want to go back. Mr Ahmed is still

:08:39. > :08:45.in hospital with a fractured spine, eye socket and bleeding on his

:08:46. > :08:49.brain. Fundraising websites have been setup to help fund his

:08:50. > :08:56.recovery. Those websites have been set up by people who have met him.

:08:57. > :09:01.At the last check, one of them has so far raised ?30,000. So far 13

:09:02. > :09:08.people have been charged in connection with the alleged attack.

:09:09. > :09:15.A group of varying from 15 to 23 years old, some young men and woman

:09:16. > :09:20.charged with violent disorder, racially aggravated grievous bodily

:09:21. > :09:24.harm -- bodily harm and wounding with intent. Eight of them appearing

:09:25. > :09:27.here were granted bail and ordered to appear for trial in May. The

:09:28. > :09:39.police investigation is still ongoing.

:09:40. > :09:42.He was the officer who lost his life in the line of

:09:43. > :09:46.Tonight PC Keith Palmer's football club will honour him in their first

:09:47. > :09:48.home game since the atrocity almost two weeks ago.

:09:49. > :09:54.Chris Slegg is at Charlton's ground for us now.

:09:55. > :10:02.A sombre atmosphere here. The match against MK Dons of secondary

:10:03. > :10:12.importance against the tributes to PC Keith Palmer. A long time

:10:13. > :10:16.supporter of Charlton and after the terrorist attacks, Charlton left a

:10:17. > :10:22.score of high up in the East stand. They wanted to have a more fitting

:10:23. > :10:28.permanent tribute. That's golf remained there and this seat was

:10:29. > :10:34.replaced by a white seat in a sea of red and bustard by PCP Palmer's

:10:35. > :10:46.police warrant number. Many people have been coming here to lay floral

:10:47. > :10:53.tributes. May of his colleagues will come to the pitch and will be led by

:10:54. > :11:03.PC Keith Palmer brother. The chaplain here is mat Baker. Thoughts

:11:04. > :11:06.are with PC Keith Palmer's family. When we discovered he was a

:11:07. > :11:14.season-ticket holder, in terms a club, nonplaying staff, players and

:11:15. > :11:21.fans, he was one of our own that died there in Westminster. We wanted

:11:22. > :11:26.to pay tribute to Keith. How can an -- a club acts like an extended

:11:27. > :11:31.family in a moment like this? He is in our thoughts and prayers. The

:11:32. > :11:37.gate receipts, half of that will go to the family. The players giving

:11:38. > :11:43.their appearance money. That sends out of -- that sends out of the

:11:44. > :11:48.message that we won't care. We come together with police and fans and

:11:49. > :11:52.players together. That sends the message that this transcends

:11:53. > :11:58.football at times like this. The players will also work PC Keith

:11:59. > :12:01.Palmer warrant number on their shirts tonight. It will be a very

:12:02. > :12:06.emotional occasion here at the Valley. A poignant tribute. Thanks

:12:07. > :12:14.very much. Drivers across the capital could be

:12:15. > :12:17.hit by a new daily charge under the Mayor's plan to clean up

:12:18. > :12:19.London's toxic air. Sadiq Khan wants to

:12:20. > :12:21.create the world's first Today we learned how much people

:12:22. > :12:37.have to pay. There is a smog. You can see it but

:12:38. > :12:42.the air in London is a killer. A morning -- a warning to the man on

:12:43. > :12:48.the dangers of pollution. Peak pain -- he compared it to the great snow

:12:49. > :12:58.-- smog of 1952 which made the government look at the Clean Air

:12:59. > :13:04.Act. This lasted four days and the whole city came to a halt. The

:13:05. > :13:11.critical element was so many people lost their lives. The mayor has put

:13:12. > :13:17.cleaning up London's air at the top of his list and has set out a plan.

:13:18. > :13:22.On top of the congestion charge of ?11 50, a further charge of ?10 will

:13:23. > :13:30.hit those with the most polluting vehicles. But that would become a

:13:31. > :13:35.bigger amount at ?12 50. That is to be extended as far as the North and

:13:36. > :13:39.South circulars for the most polluting cars. It would be charged

:13:40. > :13:44.across the whole of Greater London from lorries and bustard -- buses

:13:45. > :13:50.costing as much as ?100. Nowhere in the world has done this. We are

:13:51. > :13:59.doing the ultralow emissions zone by 2019. We are going to go London wide

:14:00. > :14:06.from lorries, coaches and buses by 2020. The earliest we can do up to

:14:07. > :14:10.the South circular and North circular is 2021. We have to give

:14:11. > :14:14.people the chance to move away from diesel. It is an adjustment that

:14:15. > :14:20.will be difficult for people like Jeremy who runs this coach service.

:14:21. > :14:26.It will make a huge impact of the business because it means changing

:14:27. > :14:33.the entire fleet. The five we have change have cost ?750,000. To do the

:14:34. > :14:42.rest of the fleet, it will be ?2 million. Fang campaigners, it falls

:14:43. > :14:49.short of what the mayor promised. -- for green campaigners. We hoped

:14:50. > :14:54.buses and coaches would have to be compliant by 2019. That has been

:14:55. > :14:58.pushed back to 2020 and that means more people being exposed to more

:14:59. > :15:10.dirty ever longer. The Met hopes introducing it will lead to a cut in

:15:11. > :15:15.harmful might try -- harmful chemicals in the air.

:15:16. > :15:19.We go Stateside to find out why New Yorkers are tucking into good

:15:20. > :15:30.March was the warmest on record but what does April hold? I will tell

:15:31. > :15:48.you later. A former police officer

:15:49. > :15:50.who was critically injured when he tried to stop the driver

:15:51. > :15:53.of a stolen car has died. PC Gareth Browning had needed

:15:54. > :15:56.constant care since he was struck by the vehicle in Reading

:15:57. > :15:58.four years ago. A 28-year-old was jailed for nine

:15:59. > :16:00.years over the incident. Joe, talk us through

:16:01. > :16:12.what happened four years ago. He had the intention of stopping a

:16:13. > :16:20.stolen master. Herath Browning was an experienced Vista -- officer and

:16:21. > :16:26.was using a stop stick, one of the devices that has spikes on it to

:16:27. > :16:31.deflate a car's tyres. He was struck by the stolen master, thrown into

:16:32. > :16:36.the air and suffered catastrophic injuries and brain damage. He was in

:16:37. > :16:40.a medically induced coma and what happened that life, changed his

:16:41. > :16:44.life. He had to retire and the question now is did what happened

:16:45. > :16:50.that night to bring his life to an end on April the 1st this year?

:16:51. > :16:56.Thames Valley Police say they will be talking to the prank was accused

:16:57. > :17:00.in service. What does that mean? Luke Hayward was a criminal and

:17:01. > :17:04.dumped the vehicle and was on day release from prison at the time. He

:17:05. > :17:08.appeared before Reading Crown Court and was jailed for nine years the

:17:09. > :17:13.previous bodily harm. Thames Valley Police are waiting to hear on the

:17:14. > :17:17.postmortem examination. They will approach the cross -- Crown

:17:18. > :17:23.Prosecution Service on their findings. Luke Hayward has been

:17:24. > :17:27.dealt with by the courts and any actual attempt to bring fresh

:17:28. > :17:29.charges has to win the approval of the Attorney General.

:17:30. > :17:34.Thank you very much. He's a World Champion

:17:35. > :17:37.and a Paralympic silver medallist. Now Tottenham's Ali Jawad is hoping

:17:38. > :17:39.to add to his medal tally at the Commonwealth Games

:17:40. > :17:42.which start exactly a year today Emma Jones has been finding out how

:17:43. > :17:56.the power lifter is preparing. It's been a while since

:17:57. > :17:59.Ali Jawad has been in a gym and in fact he hasn't

:18:00. > :18:01.trained in six weeks. Paralympic silver medallist had been

:18:02. > :18:05.thinking about retiring, so what has I was asking myself

:18:06. > :18:09.the question as to whether or not I've achieved

:18:10. > :18:12.everything I set out to achieve. I think if I had, I will

:18:13. > :18:19.probably regret it. Having been cruelly denied a medal

:18:20. > :18:22.at his home Paralympics in London, he made up for it with

:18:23. > :18:24.silver in Rio last year. It's brought about years

:18:25. > :18:27.of hard work for a In my sport, it's one

:18:28. > :18:30.event and that's it. You've literally got an hour

:18:31. > :18:32.and a half to perform. Four years of work

:18:33. > :18:35.for an hour and a half. Now he's hoping to add

:18:36. > :18:38.to his Commonwealth Games medal This is my Commonwealth Games

:18:39. > :18:46.bronze from Glasgow. Even the bronze,

:18:47. > :18:50.it's probably my best career performance, so for me,

:18:51. > :18:56.it means quite a lot to me. It's the last time I

:18:57. > :18:58.have the world record as But it was his celebrations

:18:59. > :19:03.in Glasgow that really got people It was actually the cartwheel that

:19:04. > :19:06.got people's attention and not my performance and I

:19:07. > :19:09.thought, performance is really good. Ali's positivity and

:19:10. > :19:17.fighting spirit might When he was born with

:19:18. > :19:21.no legs, they were Instead they moved from

:19:22. > :19:24.Lebanon to Tottenham when he was a baby and it was here

:19:25. > :19:27.that he started lifting weights. He says like so many

:19:28. > :19:31.athletes, is the challenge that make him

:19:32. > :19:33.all the more determined. There will always be

:19:34. > :19:35.disappointments in everybody's career but they are there to achieve

:19:36. > :19:38.something and they know it's not But if they do achieve it,

:19:39. > :19:42.it's going to be very, very sweet if they do and that's

:19:43. > :19:45.probably the best feeling ever. And with the real training starting

:19:46. > :19:49.tomorrow, might we see more Ken Livingstone's future

:19:50. > :20:05.in the Labour Party could be The former Mayor of London will find

:20:06. > :20:08.out whether he faces further disciplinary action

:20:09. > :20:10.over his controversial claim that Hitler supported

:20:11. > :20:12.Zionism in the 1930s. Emma North is in Central London

:20:13. > :20:25.where the party hearing The weight still goes on. Ken

:20:26. > :20:32.Livingstone has always defended the remarks he has made her stop he

:20:33. > :20:36.compared Adolf Hitler and said he was a supporter of Zionism. These

:20:37. > :20:40.comments have led to his suspension and this hearing. He has always

:20:41. > :20:45.blamed hostile members of the Labour Party and the media for bringing it

:20:46. > :20:49.to this situation. Inside is a private herring. We are into our

:20:50. > :20:55.fourth day here and we're looking at whether his comments would grossly

:20:56. > :20:56.detrimental to the Labour Party. It is something Mr Livingstone said was

:20:57. > :21:05.justified in saying. I haven't caused offence. I couldn't

:21:06. > :21:10.walk down the street stop hundreds of people stopping and many of them

:21:11. > :21:14.Jewish saying that they know their history. The people who are offended

:21:15. > :21:19.are the people who believed the lies they saw in the media that I said

:21:20. > :21:26.Hitler was a Zionist. To suggest a man who loathes dues is a Zionist,

:21:27. > :21:29.if I said that, I would be off to the doctor to check if this wasn't

:21:30. > :21:40.the first stages of dementia. We have some views as to what it

:21:41. > :21:42.would do if he was expelled. He is expected to be thrown out of the

:21:43. > :21:47.Labour Party and compared what is going on to something akin to what

:21:48. > :21:51.is happening in North Korea. If he is expelled, he has said he will

:21:52. > :21:55.mount a judicial review to challenge the process that has happened inside

:21:56. > :21:59.here. This is a man who has left the Labour Party, been suspended and

:22:00. > :22:03.rejoined again. He knows how to fight. We will bring you that result

:22:04. > :22:08.when we get it. Thank you. It all started in a pie

:22:09. > :22:11.and mash shop in Tooting Now, the fringe production

:22:12. > :22:15.of Sweeney Todd, which has also had a run in the West End,

:22:16. > :22:18.has travelled stateside to New York. And as Thomas Magill reports,

:22:19. > :22:21.it isn't just the original London cast that's transferred,

:22:22. > :22:29.so too has pie and mash. The Hollywood blockbuster capable

:22:30. > :22:36.of turning our stomachs. # These are probably

:22:37. > :22:38.the worst times in London. Set in a musical about dodgy pies

:22:39. > :22:42.in London's oldest pie and mash shop in London was somewhat of a risk

:22:43. > :22:45.for everyone involved but one When we first did it in Harrington,

:22:46. > :22:52.you just do the show because you want to do the show

:22:53. > :22:54.and you concentrate very much And then, of course,

:22:55. > :23:02.this extraordinary chain of events kicked in and some came to see

:23:03. > :23:04.it in Tooting. Before we know it, we were given

:23:05. > :23:07.a space in the West End And after a successful

:23:08. > :23:12.run in the West End, the show and its traditional London

:23:13. > :23:15.pie and mash and liquor served to the audience

:23:16. > :23:22.headed Stateside to here, Barrow Street Theatre in the heart

:23:23. > :23:24.of Manhattan where it opened last month and for many,

:23:25. > :23:26.the show was familiar I'm from Philadelphia and this

:23:27. > :23:38.is the first time I've ever had pie. I'm just not a fan

:23:39. > :23:45.of mashed potatoes. Just the traditional pie and mash

:23:46. > :23:48.has gone down a treat with New York theatre-goers but that's not

:23:49. > :23:51.the only thing to make its way So too has some of the

:23:52. > :23:55.original London cast. In Tooting, the show played to just

:23:56. > :24:01.34 people each night. Here in New York,

:24:02. > :24:03.the capacity is almost 200. The audience are here

:24:04. > :24:10.because they are just up And for those pies,

:24:11. > :24:17.time to come clean. Well, I don't know if you know

:24:18. > :24:20.but we've got the former White House pastry chef doing our pie and mash,

:24:21. > :24:23.so it's, you know, it's posh pie and mash but pie

:24:24. > :24:41.and mash, nevertheless. Now for a chat on the weather. Wendy

:24:42. > :24:47.is here. I wish these were the skies we had

:24:48. > :24:54.today. They are not what we had today. I am doing a skip back in

:24:55. > :24:59.time. It was joined mildest on record. It shares that with the

:25:00. > :25:06.march we had 60 years ago. The highest temperature we had was 22

:25:07. > :25:14.Celsius. Last Thursday, what a scorcher. I was scouting round to

:25:15. > :25:22.see colour under the grey skies. Midweek, we will see sense tells. It

:25:23. > :25:34.will be feeling warm once again. There were a few breaks.

:25:35. > :25:42.We have quite a chilly night. The cloud could produce rain. Towards

:25:43. > :25:49.midnight, most of us will be seeing -- clear skies.

:25:50. > :25:58.Temperatures could be low enough for a touch of frost into the early

:25:59. > :26:03.hours of tomorrow morning. There will be plenty of sunshine to enjoy.

:26:04. > :26:13.This is going to be a common theme towards the end of the week. For the

:26:14. > :26:18.north-east, there will be some thicker cloud. 14 Celsius is average

:26:19. > :26:20.for the time of year. We will chase round bits of cloud. We should see

:26:21. > :26:41.some sunny spells. Temperatures could be in the top

:26:42. > :26:47.teams for later on in the week and into the weekend.

:26:48. > :26:55.Syrian activists say 58 people including children have been killed

:26:56. > :27:01.in the gas attack in Syria. They have blamed it on the forces of

:27:02. > :27:05.President Assad. The Prime Minister is in Saudi Arabia for talks on

:27:06. > :27:12.trade and security. Theresa May says it is in the national interest to

:27:13. > :27:15.maintain good relations despite the controversial human rights record.

:27:16. > :27:18.And the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, is waiting to hear

:27:19. > :27:22.whether he should be expelled from the Labour Party. He is attending a

:27:23. > :27:28.disciplinary hearing in Westminster over comments he made about Hitler

:27:29. > :27:33.and Zionism. That hearing is still going on as we speak but you can

:27:34. > :27:37.keep up-to-date on that result on the BBC News Channel and on our

:27:38. > :27:40.website. That is it for now. I'll be back during the ten o'clock news.

:28:08. > :28:10.your pants. Come here. I've got spit on them now,

:28:11. > :28:13.haven't I? Leave it,

:28:14. > :28:24.I'll get it off in the bogs. Animal. This programme is what the
