:00:00. > :00:00.On the programme tonight. and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:00:00. > :00:00.The battle to prevent another Dale Farm, after travellers move
:00:00. > :00:08.in and build more illegal camps on the green belt.
:00:09. > :00:10.They say they have nowhere to go, but local residents
:00:11. > :00:17.Could help be on the way for diesel drivers, after being encouraged
:00:18. > :00:22.I thought they were better for the environment,
:00:23. > :00:25.and we were led to believe by the previous Mayor that diesel
:00:26. > :00:31.Plus, the unlikely rise to prominence for a Romford jockey,
:00:32. > :00:35.who's tipped to win the Grand National.
:00:36. > :00:48.I'm just excited to be riding such a good horse, in such a big race.
:00:49. > :00:52.What's this about? Something deeply shocking...
:00:53. > :00:54.And, we hear from the stars of a new Brit-flick,
:00:55. > :01:02.adapted from one of the London's most popular novels.
:01:03. > :01:06.Good evening and welcome to BBC London News with me, Louisa Preston.
:01:07. > :01:08.First tonight, the battle to stop another two illegal
:01:09. > :01:14.Six years ago, it cost Basildon Council millions of pounds
:01:15. > :01:17.to evict people from parts of Dale Farm.
:01:18. > :01:23.Now there is a new legal fight, less than two miles away.
:01:24. > :01:26.The authority is going back to the High Court to try
:01:27. > :01:29.The Travellers say they have nowhere else to go.
:01:30. > :01:32.Green belt land in Basildon, which the council says should
:01:33. > :01:37.Last month, people living nearby on Hovefields Avenue
:01:38. > :01:42.Tarmac was laid, and mobile homes appeared.
:01:43. > :01:45.That's despite an injunction by the High Court back in October,
:01:46. > :01:48.banning any further development on two specific sites.
:01:49. > :01:51.If you develop an area, you have to have infrastructure,
:01:52. > :01:58.The council has to agree, you cannot just set up,
:01:59. > :02:01.be it a caravan, a house, a bungalow, just where you think
:02:02. > :02:06.you will, because you have decided to develop.
:02:07. > :02:09.It matters not that they are Travellers, it's just an individual
:02:10. > :02:14.or a group of people cannot develop illegally.
:02:15. > :02:17.Basildon Council is now taking legal action.
:02:18. > :02:20.On this one, we've had injunctions down for a number of months now
:02:21. > :02:25.which have been breached, and that is a criminal offence.
:02:26. > :02:27.The unauthorised development is just three miles away
:02:28. > :02:30.from the Dale Farm Travellers site in Wickford.
:02:31. > :02:32.There are two separately-owned pieces of land in question,
:02:33. > :02:35.one is west of Hovefields Avenue, the other is known as
:02:36. > :02:44.And, if nothing's done, some people fear a repeat of this,
:02:45. > :02:47.the chaotic clearance in 2011 of the part of Dale Farm that had
:02:48. > :02:50.been illegally occupied and developed by Travellers
:02:51. > :02:56.80 families were evicted from unlawful plots,
:02:57. > :03:00.the process costing Basildon Council more than ?4 million.
:03:01. > :03:03.Six years on, and Dale Farm, to the right of the existing legal
:03:04. > :03:07.site, is slowly returning to green belt.
:03:08. > :03:09.But those who work with Travellers say there aren't
:03:10. > :03:14.People have to exist, and they have to have a place to live.
:03:15. > :03:17.They can buy their own property, they can put in for planning
:03:18. > :03:21.permission, but sometimes that takes years to go through.
:03:22. > :03:24.And in the meantime, 99.9% of Gypsy and Traveller
:03:25. > :03:29.Lawyers for Basildon Council will come here to the High Court
:03:30. > :03:33.tomorrow to ask for an order giving them permission to go onto the land
:03:34. > :03:35.west of Hovefields Avenue, to undo some of the recent
:03:36. > :03:39.developments, and restore the site to how it was in October
:03:40. > :03:43.when the injunction banning further development was issued.
:03:44. > :03:45.Although, it could be just the start of a long
:03:46. > :04:00.Still to come this evening, as the tall ships return to Greenwich, we
:04:01. > :04:05.meet some of the new crew learning the ropes, quite literally. And a
:04:06. > :04:10.new squatter has moved into Eltham Palace. It's munching on the
:04:11. > :04:14.exhibits. Find out who the pest is, later in the programme.
:04:15. > :04:17.We all know that diesel car drivers in London could soon have to pay
:04:18. > :04:19.a so-called "toxin tax", but is it fair?
:04:20. > :04:22.Many of us were encouraged to buy diesel cars, with tax
:04:23. > :04:28.Now the Mayor has written to the Prime Minister to ask
:04:29. > :04:31.for help for those motorists, but should City Hall be doing more?
:04:32. > :04:44.Do you own a diesel car? Many Londoners do. But the mayor wants to
:04:45. > :04:48.make it more difficult to drive them through the city. He says is our
:04:49. > :04:56.toxic air leaves him no choice. But it's not welcome news to drivers
:04:57. > :05:01.like Saffy crew who has just bought a diesel car. I went diesel because
:05:02. > :05:06.of economic reasons because it's good on petrol. They tend to do more
:05:07. > :05:10.miles than a petrol car. I thought they were better for the
:05:11. > :05:13.environment. We were led to believe that diesel was the way forward and
:05:14. > :05:19.many people still think this. It was a bit of a shock, really. The
:05:20. > :05:23.mayor's plans include the need to charge, drivers of the worst
:05:24. > :05:27.polluting cars would pay an extra ?10 in the Congestion Zone. Today he
:05:28. > :05:30.wrote for the Prime Minister calling for the government to set up a
:05:31. > :05:45.diesel scrappage scheme. He suggested fans and many ...
:05:46. > :05:50.The mayor recognises he's in a difficult position. On the one hand
:05:51. > :05:55.he says it is vital to clean up the capital's air. On the other, he is
:05:56. > :06:01.under pressure not unfairly penalised London's drivers. Who were
:06:02. > :06:06.once encouraged by diesel cars. And encouraged by the mayor's own party.
:06:07. > :06:10.It was a Labour government who love the tax diesel at a time many
:06:11. > :06:14.believed it was green. I think it's a good thing for politicians to
:06:15. > :06:19.politicians to listen to experts. I don't apologise for listening to
:06:20. > :06:24.experts. Now the experts say that diesel is responsible for a lot of
:06:25. > :06:30.the air pollution we suffer from. I don't want to leave families worse
:06:31. > :06:32.off, I don't want to leave businesses and charities. I'm
:06:33. > :06:36.saying, the government has got to step up and help. But are worried
:06:37. > :06:40.whether they will get the help they need. Most car that this dealership
:06:41. > :06:45.in Willesden diesel, because they say that's what most customers still
:06:46. > :06:49.want. My concern is for the long term. At the moment a lot of our
:06:50. > :06:54.vehicles are diesel. Obviously Sadiq Khan is looking at a scrappage
:06:55. > :06:58.scheme and it'll affect us in the long run because we could have
:06:59. > :07:02.diesel vehicles we can't sell and customers who are very concerned.
:07:03. > :07:05.The mayor agrees the message to consumers must be clear but says it
:07:06. > :07:12.is now over to the government to play its part. He wants drivers
:07:13. > :07:14.discouraged from using diesel but not punished for buying a car in
:07:15. > :07:17.good faith. Karl, the Mayor's asking
:07:18. > :07:26.for the government's help, Let's face it, he's put it at the
:07:27. > :07:31.top of his agenda. He campaigned on this and said he'll clean up their
:07:32. > :07:35.pollution. Why is he so keen? It's what he promised to do. He also
:07:36. > :07:39.believes it's the right thing. There's also that issue about how it
:07:40. > :07:43.plays in the polls. Privately they've done polling and it works
:07:44. > :07:47.well but he needs the government to step up as well. In February the
:07:48. > :07:51.Department for Transport was talking to the Treasury trying to sort out
:07:52. > :07:56.some details of the scheme where people would get money back if they
:07:57. > :08:00.traded in their more polluting cars. The Prime Minister hinted they were
:08:01. > :08:04.thinking of it but she said that we don't want to punish people who we
:08:05. > :08:07.encouraged back in the data by these cars, they bought them in good
:08:08. > :08:11.faith, we shouldn't be punishing them. It looks like the government
:08:12. > :08:15.are moving towards it, no yet of what that will be. Thank you.
:08:16. > :08:18.Police investigating a sex attack in South London have
:08:19. > :08:20.released footage of a man they want to speak to.
:08:21. > :08:23.A woman in her 20s was dragged to the floor on Binfield Road
:08:24. > :08:26.It happened in the early hours of Sunday morning.
:08:27. > :08:30.Police are asking anyone who recognises the man to come forward.
:08:31. > :08:33.The victim doesn't know the suspect, she had had no
:08:34. > :08:38.He approached her in the street, and dragged her from one side
:08:39. > :08:42.There will be extra patrols in the area,
:08:43. > :08:46.we've released the CCTV, and we urge the public to come
:08:47. > :08:51.forward if they think they know that male.
:08:52. > :08:54.A woman from St Albans, accused of knocking down and killing
:08:55. > :08:55.a 70-year-old cyclist, has been cleared
:08:56. > :09:01.Michael Mason was knocked off his bike on Regent Street,
:09:02. > :09:03.and died three weeks later from a brain injury.
:09:04. > :09:06.The case, brought by a cycling charity, is believed to be
:09:07. > :09:10.the first to be paid for through crowd funding.
:09:11. > :09:13.And the Prime Minister has used the launch of her party's local
:09:14. > :09:15.election campaign to attack Labour for its handling of the Ken
:09:16. > :09:19.Theresa May said the Jewish community had been betrayed
:09:20. > :09:26.A Labour Party, which just this week revealed the depths
:09:27. > :09:29.to which it has now sunk, betraying the Jewish community
:09:30. > :09:33.in our country by letting Ken Livingstone off the hook.
:09:34. > :09:36.It could not be clearer that the Labour Party is now a long
:09:37. > :09:45.way away from the common centre ground of British politics today.
:09:46. > :09:48.Kurdish leaders in South London say refugees need to be treated
:09:49. > :09:51.It comes after an attack on a 17-year-old Kurdish Iranian
:09:52. > :09:55.asylum seeker, who was severely beaten at a bus stop in Croydon.
:09:56. > :09:57.Members of his community have been visiting him in hospital,
:09:58. > :10:01.and Emma North has been speaking to one of them, to find out how
:10:02. > :10:06.With a broken spine, fractured eye socket
:10:07. > :10:10.and a bleed on his brain, Reker Ahmed had trouble recognising
:10:11. > :10:16.But when he did, he told them what was going through his mind
:10:17. > :10:19.He thought he was really going to die.
:10:20. > :10:23.That's what he said, he thought he is gone.
:10:24. > :10:26.You could see from his face when he was trying to move,
:10:27. > :10:30.that he was in quite a bit of pain and agony.
:10:31. > :10:35.His left eye, he couldn't quite open it, it was black and blue.
:10:36. > :10:39.The 17-year-old had been settling well into his local community.
:10:40. > :10:42.He had fled the regime in Iran last year.
:10:43. > :10:45.What is it that drove Reker to the UK?
:10:46. > :10:49.There's a huge repression and oppression against
:10:50. > :10:55.So he fled from the persecutions and oppression over there,
:10:56. > :10:59.He's been living there, and for something like this
:11:00. > :11:02.to happen to a refugee who has gone through so much suffering
:11:03. > :11:07.13 people have been charged in connection
:11:08. > :11:12.The teenager was beaten and kicked by a gang as he waited
:11:13. > :11:19.Since then, more than ?50,000 has been raised to help him.
:11:20. > :11:21.When I actually conveyed the message to say that the British people
:11:22. > :11:24.were well behind him, that they were totally
:11:25. > :11:27.against this attack, it put a big smile on his face,
:11:28. > :11:30.and he actually lifted his hand and put it on his
:11:31. > :11:35.So he did really appreciate that, and that was something I think that
:11:36. > :11:41.I hope that he's going to make a steady recovery, and this will not
:11:42. > :11:44.cause him any further complications as a result of this attack.
:11:45. > :11:46.But nevertheless, I think this will stay with him
:11:47. > :11:54.You could see from the extent of the injuries to his face
:11:55. > :11:59.and body, he will never forget about this attack.
:12:00. > :12:17.I'm on the red carpet for a film set entirely in parts of London you will
:12:18. > :12:22.definitely recognise, talking to the stars Charlotte Rampling and Jim
:12:23. > :12:27.Broadbent. I'm on board a tall ship to find out why two trainee plumbers
:12:28. > :12:32.are learning the ropes instead of just fixing leaks.
:12:33. > :12:34.The Grand National takes place at Aintree this weekend,
:12:35. > :12:37.and a leading contender to win the great race is 33-year-old
:12:38. > :12:41.It's an unlikely rise to prominence for the jockey.
:12:42. > :12:44.He was born and raised in Romford, but didn't start
:12:45. > :12:50.Chris Slegg has been to Yorkshire to meet him and Definitly Red,
:12:51. > :12:57.the horse he hopes to ride to glory on.
:12:58. > :13:04.Spring cottage stables in North Yorkshire. This is where Danny Cook
:13:05. > :13:09.is preparing for Saturday's Grand National. Biggest day of your life?
:13:10. > :13:14.It will be if he wins. It's one I'm really looking forward to. It's a
:13:15. > :13:18.world away from where he grew up in Romford. All my friends and family
:13:19. > :13:24.are either landscape gardeners, my brother Tony, my cousin Craig and my
:13:25. > :13:29.mates are all landscape gardeners, window cleaners or electricians,
:13:30. > :13:32.builders. They are all in that trade. Obviously an Essex there's
:13:33. > :13:36.plenty of houses to work on. If you're trying to make a life as a
:13:37. > :13:42.jockey in Essex you would struggle. This is Danny's horse, Definitly
:13:43. > :13:46.Red. Today priced as 10-1 joint favourite. How have you ended up on
:13:47. > :13:50.the joint favourite for the National? More luck than judgment.
:13:51. > :13:55.He went and bolted up at Doncaster and then obviously he's been well
:13:56. > :14:02.backed since then. We always knew all season he's been well
:14:03. > :14:08.handicapped, his form last year was very good. He's just got better and
:14:09. > :14:12.better each run. How does this make you feel, it's a lot of pressure on
:14:13. > :14:17.you to find yourself on the joint favourite for the National. Yeah, it
:14:18. > :14:21.does. Again, it's the build-up, it puts pressure on things. When I get
:14:22. > :14:25.out there and get on the horse, it's all forgotten about and we are just
:14:26. > :14:30.riding the horse and jumping the jumps. It's quite a turnaround for a
:14:31. > :14:34.man who missed a year of racing with a broken leg and served a six-month
:14:35. > :14:40.ban after testing positive for cocaine in 2015. How difficult has
:14:41. > :14:44.it been to overcome but? It's been really tough. Obviously a lot of it
:14:45. > :14:47.was my own doing and having the injuries and stuff. It's tough but
:14:48. > :14:52.I've had a lot of support. What sort of emotions with your family be
:14:53. > :14:56.going through on Saturday? I think they will be apprehensive, nervous,
:14:57. > :15:02.excited. Pretty much the same as I would be on the horse. They are all
:15:03. > :15:07.really proud and looking forward to watching the big race. Danny Cook
:15:08. > :15:11.has cleared many hurdles already, now to see if Definitly Red can
:15:12. > :15:14.carry him over Aintree's famous 30 fences.
:15:15. > :15:17.Now for years, clothes moths have waged war on our wardrobes,
:15:18. > :15:20.feasting on our favourite frocks and jumpers, but now they also pose
:15:21. > :15:23.a threat to the very fabric of fine furnishings in some
:15:24. > :15:28.Our reporter Alpa Patel is at Eltham Palace
:15:29. > :15:47.Welcome to Eltham Palace, which dates to the medieval age. It's also
:15:48. > :15:51.home to this magnificent ceiling, and lots of interesting exhibits and
:15:52. > :15:55.fabrics, as you can see. Lots of rugs and carpets. But a squatter has
:15:56. > :16:01.moved in and it's causing lots of damage here. It's the clothes moth.
:16:02. > :16:06.Last year the clothes moth actually tripled in number. One woman who
:16:07. > :16:10.knows all about this infestation is Rebecca Bennett. Why have we seen
:16:11. > :16:13.this increase in the clothes moth here? We think it's a combination of
:16:14. > :16:18.factors including temperatures rising in our homes and also
:16:19. > :16:24.outside. Also the fact pesticides are less toxic these days, which is
:16:25. > :16:28.good for humans but means the moths aren't eradicated as effectively any
:16:29. > :16:34.more. If we go over to this table we can have a look at this Victorian
:16:35. > :16:39.gun case where the moths have been munching away. Give us a
:16:40. > :16:43.demonstration. I'm pleased to say this is historic damage. If I lift
:16:44. > :16:51.the lid you can see that the Phelps has been well and truly decimated.
:16:52. > :16:56.-- the felt has been well and truly decimated. This is the type of
:16:57. > :17:03.damage that can be done. It's not actually be moth doing the damage,
:17:04. > :17:07.it's the larvae. The eggs are laid within the fabrics and they borrowed
:17:08. > :17:14.their way out, eating as they go. That's the problem, it's the larvae.
:17:15. > :17:19.If you were to leave this infestation what would happen to
:17:20. > :17:23.Eltham Palace? Within 12 months we would see decimation of the
:17:24. > :17:27.collection at that kind of scale. It's a really important programme of
:17:28. > :17:32.housekeeping and monitoring. You are actually having a good old fight of
:17:33. > :17:35.the clothes moths. We are, the properties are now just fully
:17:36. > :17:39.reopened. English Heritage across London and across England as well.
:17:40. > :17:45.Over the winter we've been fighting them. We do this every year and it's
:17:46. > :17:52.a very deep winter clean, we remove all the objects, clean underneath
:17:53. > :17:55.them, check them and put them back so we know we have no damage. We
:17:56. > :17:59.also use traps to get a sense of the scale of the problem. You've got
:18:00. > :18:03.something you want the public's help with. Absolutely. Today we are
:18:04. > :18:09.launching operation clothes moth. We would like the public to come to our
:18:10. > :18:13.sites, pick up a free trap. Ten sites across London have the traps
:18:14. > :18:18.available. Come along, pick one up, put it in your home and go to the
:18:19. > :18:22.website to find out exactly how you can help us map the problem.
:18:23. > :18:31.Rebecca, thank you for being with us. Did you know that one moth can
:18:32. > :18:34.lay up to 300 eggs over three weeks. I was speaking to one pest control
:18:35. > :18:42.company who said they'd seen an increase in call-outs in homes. If
:18:43. > :18:43.you find a hole in your clothes or carpet, it's very likely you have an
:18:44. > :18:47.infestation. You may know it as the award
:18:48. > :18:49.winning novel by London author Julian Barnes,
:18:50. > :18:52.but now "The Sense of an Ending" The brit-flick has been shot
:18:53. > :18:57.entirely here in the capital, and has an exceptional
:18:58. > :18:59.home grown cast. Wendy Hurrell has been
:19:00. > :19:13.talking to them, but first This is my story. I'm divorced, very
:19:14. > :19:20.happily so. My daughter is choosing to have a child on her own. Then one
:19:21. > :19:24.day... Dear Tony, I think you should have the attached. Perhaps you will
:19:25. > :19:30.find it is an interesting if painful memento... We have acting pedigree
:19:31. > :19:33.on the red carpet. Good evening to Charlotte Rampling, Jim Broadbent. I
:19:34. > :19:42.think between you you've acted in something like 250 films. That's
:19:43. > :19:50.what my research says! Have you been in a film together? I know you've
:19:51. > :19:56.done a TV drama, have you been in a film together before? I don't think
:19:57. > :20:03.so. This is a grand premiere. First time we are together. But we aren't
:20:04. > :20:07.really! We hardly were in the story. It's very intense moments between
:20:08. > :20:13.you. You're not actually on-screen very much but great moments of
:20:14. > :20:21.intensity. Tell me a bit about your characters. I play a chap called

:20:27. > :20:31.legacy from his first girlfriend 's mother. Charlotte plays the first
:20:32. > :20:38.girlfriend. So he doesn't know why he's been given this diary, or left
:20:39. > :20:43.this diary, so he tries to find out what it's all about. It turns out
:20:44. > :20:46.that she's withholding the diary. For me as a Londoner it was great to
:20:47. > :20:51.watch because there's all these neighbourhoods I know so well. What
:20:52. > :20:56.was it like filming on location in the capital? Lovely, Highgate,
:20:57. > :21:01.Clapton, Hampstead. We had lots of running round. It was good, you can
:21:02. > :21:06.get home at night. Isn't it wonderful to get home at night? For
:21:07. > :21:10.a film people who go all over the place, it's a joy to work in a city
:21:11. > :21:13.and use what is really beautiful about the city that you don't
:21:14. > :21:20.necessarily come across all the time. We were going or later. Is
:21:21. > :21:25.there a nostalgia at all, I know you live in Paris some of the time,
:21:26. > :21:28.you're up in Lincolnshire. Is there nostalgia coming back to London or
:21:29. > :21:32.is it just the city that keeps moving? It keeps moving and you have
:21:33. > :21:38.to move along with it, you can't stop. London is lovely. It comes
:21:39. > :21:44.over well, I think in the film. As you say, areas that you don't
:21:45. > :21:52.normally see in films. Tufnell Park, Tufnell Park doesn't get into movies
:21:53. > :21:55.enough I'm sure! I really enjoyed the film, I hope you enjoy your

:22:05. > :22:07.Gareth Furby has been to Woolwich Pier to meet some
:22:08. > :22:14.of them, and find out what life is like on the water.
:22:15. > :22:16.It's an event that has a distinguished history.
:22:17. > :22:19.Some of them have already raced here from Plymouth.

:22:45. > :22:48.Plumbing, you're in a building, fixing something.
:22:49. > :22:52.Here, you're in the middle of nowhere, because you're in the sea.
:22:53. > :22:57.So they could fix all the leaks, I don't know.

:24:59. > :25:08.sunshine. Tonight, not much happening on the weather front, like
:25:09. > :25:12.twins. -- light winds. In rural areas first thing tomorrow morning

:25:17. > :25:24.Tomorrow a bit of cloud floating around here and there. Overall a
:25:25. > :25:30.pleasant day. Temperature is modest, around 15 degrees. If you like it to
:25:31. > :25:38.warm up, it is certainly warming up this weekend and quite significantly
:25:39. > :25:42.as well. This weekend temperatures. Rising on Saturday. We could already
:25:43. > :25:47.be approaching around about 20 Celsius in the city. We've already
:25:48. > :25:51.had that so far this year. It won't be far off the 20 degrees mark. A

:26:20. > :26:22.sun this time of the year. UV levels are high, not spectacular but enough
:26:23. > :26:28.to burn if you are sunbathing this weekend. Be very careful. On Monday,
:26:29. > :26:32.it cools down. I think the weather is behaving for once this weekend.
