independence referendum as early as next year. That's all from the BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
After a spate of fatal stabbings, the mayor launches | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
You need to mobilise someone like me in the community to be able to give | :00:07. | :00:21. | |
back to people like myself. And you need to empower someone like me. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
The man who says he's lucky to be alive after this. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The pedestrian walked away with a few bruises | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The Sikh couple who say a Berkshire adoption agency told them | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
they were the wrong culture to adopt a white child. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
They should be looking at ours as people and understanding more about | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
our lives, who we are, and not as one particular area such as cultural | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
heritage. And it's 50 years since the world's | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
first hole in the wall Good evening and welcome | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
to the programme. First tonight: The mayor | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
has launched a major crackdown on knife crime, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
it comes after an escalation in violence which has seen nine | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
teenagers killed in the capital this year, and three fatal stabbings | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
in the past 24 hours. The strategy could see more metal | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
detectors in schools, along with an increase in the use of stop | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
and search by police. Sadiq Khan has also pledged | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
more money to fund anti as our home affairs correspondent | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Nick Beake reports. Noumea chose this boxing club in | :01:32. | :01:48. | |
Brixton to launch his new assault on knife crime. Pastor Lorraine Jones | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
set the top three years ago after her 20 old son Dwayne was stabbed to | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
death. It is the kind of place Sadiq Khan says he will now give more | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
money to. It is vitally important to have spaces like theirs, because it | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
is based is like this that young people feel comfortable in. Unless | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
they feel comfortable and safe, they cannot address their internal issues | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
and social issues that they are having to deal with. Umea blamed his | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
predators and the Conservative led coalition for a recent rise in light | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
crime. As he unveiled his strategy. What can you say is gently drop | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
pioneering and make that difference? Knife crime has been going up in | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
London since 2014. It is clear that lovers have to work together. That | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
means rather than closing down youth centres because of Government cuts, | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
supporting them. What else is in his strategy? A specialist team of 80 | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Met officers to be sent into knife crime hotspots. They will be more | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
stop and search, and the increased funding for community projects. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Also, more help poor people to leave gangs, a crackdown on knife sales, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
and more weapons searches in schools. This strategy to fight | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
night crime is something they may and his team have been working on | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
for the past year. What is organisations are involved, but the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Metropolitan Police is key to its success. This strategy gives all | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
across London the opportunity to get involved in stopping knife crime, | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and the most aborted thing about it is that it is all-encompassing and | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
there has been an enormous amount of consultation, engagement with | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
particularly young people, so it is highly relevant to them. Not | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
everyone exist packages destined to work. Sefton Henry started selling | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
drugs when he was just eight. He now runs an anti-gangs project. He think | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
they may should make more use of reformed criminals. I know what it | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
is like to be in a prison cell. I know what it's like to carry a. I | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
know what it is like to rob people and sell drugs and the rest of it. I | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
the roots. I know what made me do that. Goodes the Conservatives say | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the May' strategy a lot clear targets. It will be hard to work out | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
whether or not any of these measures had been successful. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
The emergency services meltdown on New Year's Eve, which caused a fatal | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
delay. Officials explain what went wrong. | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
After 16 attempts at IVF and seven years of heartache, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Sandeep and Reena Mander from Berkshire decided | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
But the couple, who are Sikh, claim they were told they couldn't | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
take the process forward locally because of their cultural heritage. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
They say the agency advised them to adopt a child from India instead, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
After seven years of trying and 16 failed IVF attempts, this couple | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
accepted they were not going to have a baby of their own. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Convinced they could offer a child a loving home, | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
they went to an introductory session on adoption. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
When they told the agency, Adopt Berkshire, they would | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
like to move forward, they were informed, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
with only white babies needing families, their Indian heritage | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
We had already gone through a long journey, and... | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
Initially I was hurt and then I was angry. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
They should be looking at us as people and | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
understanding more about our lives, who we are, and not just one | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
particular area, such as cultural heritage. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
The couple, both born and raised in Britain, tried to get the | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
decision reversed through the agency's complaints division. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
They have had support from their MP, Theresa May, but they have not | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
even been allowed to start the long application process, which is why | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
I feel that the council has got it wrong, in the sense that they have | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
prioritised cultural heritage as the one | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
and primary factor that they will consider before even allowing | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
The effect of doing that is creating a form | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Adopt Berkshire is the council's adoption agency. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
When we asked about this case, a spokesperson said they would not | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
But on its website, it says, when placing children for adoption, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
it will first try to identify prospective adopters who will | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
reflect the child's culture and religion of heritage. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
For us, colour doesn't mean a single thing to us, you know. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Why differentiate that, and the well-being of the child | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
growing up, just out of the fact that, I suppose, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The legal battle, they say, is for future couples | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
They have now been approved for adoption from the US. | :07:07. | :07:23. | |
Simon Smith was walking and on Street and Reading, when a | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
double-decker bus market the pavement and sent him flying. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Incredibly, he was able to get up and walk away. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
And his report begins with some shocking CCTV | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
A quiet Saturday morning in the centre of Reading, punctuated | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
By any reckoning, Simon Smith, the local | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
man on the receiving end of a bus that comes from nowhere, should be | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Yet he calmly walks into a nearby bar. | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
It was out of the blue, that's what gets me. | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
The Purple Turtle is one of the best-known bars in the town, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
and its CCTV captured the whole thing. | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
Simon cannot talk to the BBC for the kill reasons. But his friends have | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
been in touch. We called Simon aafter the day | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
of the accident, and he was I just cannot believe that | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Simon got up, dusted The scars of the incident | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
are plain to see. The impact on the windscreen of the | :08:39. | :08:55. | |
bus, we have their a slight cushioning effect. That has served | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
to reduce the impact on the head. In the aftermath, a crowd gathers to | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
help. It is not confirmed in either of the two Reading bosses employees | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
was the driver. The scars are all there to see. Many here think that | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
it careered around the corner because of a mechanical failure. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
That is not the subject of an ongoing investigation. Reading | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
bosses said it is shot by the incident and said its regrets to | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Simon. It is sharing a bosses on-board CCTV with police. This is | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
first time ever like this has ever happened. It is quite a safe state. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
The vehicle is the drive down here go about 20 mph. It looks like the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
boss has gone out of control. It has just almost gone into turbo, sped | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
up. As you might expect, this footage has now gone viral. The main | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
comment, most people and minor way Simon just kept calm and carried on. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
We've been here in and around on street just outside the Purple | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Turtle, and we noticed that the buses are certainly going slowly. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
This is Anfield and popular part of Reading and people are shocked and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
concerned. They have a lot of fun that fondness for the bus company | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
and don't want to point the finger or make accusations before any of | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
the investigations are complete. Tonight, police have told is that | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
over this very lucky escape, no arrests have yet been made. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
The man accused of carrying out the terror attack | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
near Finsbury Park mosque has appeared at the Old Bailey. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Darren Osborne appeared by video-link from Belmarsh prison. | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
He faces charges of murder and attempted murder. | :10:45. | :10:45. | |
The 47-year-old didn't request bail and will appear | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
The partner of former EastEnders star Sian Blake has lost a challenge | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
against his whole-life jail sentence for murdering her and their | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Arthur Simpson-Kent failed to persuade judges at the Court | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
of Appeal that the term should be reduced. | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
He killed Ms Blake, their eight-year-old son Zachary, | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
and four-year-old Amon at their home in Erith in December 2015. | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
It was a computer meltdown in the Ambulance Service, | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
It happened on New year's Eve, one of London's busiest nights. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Now a report into what happened has blamed poor IT maintenance | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
for reducing the control room to using pen and paper | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent Karl Mercer. | :11:28. | :11:39. | |
Goes back thousands on the street and he had Lewis Evans preparing for | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
its busiest night of the year. Half an hour later, its computer system | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
crashed, leaving staff to resort to pen and paper to dispatch | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
ambulances. A whistle-blower told BBC London in February what the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
meant. The people of London were felled on New Year's Eve. They were | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
watching their loved ones suffer and weight, not knowing if when help | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
would arrive. Do you think there is a chance that people might have died | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
as a result of this computer failure? Without doubt. The report | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
confirms one person had back after waiting 40 minutes foreign and | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
others despite being conscious and breathing when travellers was first | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
called. Undoubtedly there were a number of pages would have waited | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
longer on New Year's Eve for an ambulance. Because the manual | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
systems are naturally slower. For that, we do apologise. The problems | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
where widespread. Between three and four | :12:35. | :12:35. | |
in the morning it was taking 25 Some less serious cases had to wait | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
seven hours for an ambulance. And nearly 500 calls were dealt | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
with by other services, Today's report also highlights | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
mistakes made in the run It says seven risks relating | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
to lack of IT maintenance were raised, but none considered | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
by the board before incident. It says that at the time Testing | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
and maintenance was not And it says that When risks | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
were identified, senior managers If they were seven cases with | :13:06. | :13:23. | |
problems that were raised before the incident, why were they not dealt | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
with? As I said, we accepted the findings of the report that there | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
were failings in terms of our governance and process management. | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
We had put in place measures to fix that and improve that. Despite you | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
are confident it won't happen again? I am confident that this particular | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
failure will not happen again because we have only fault, and we | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
have eliminated the ability for it happen again. Despite the problems, | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
front line staff praised for their efforts during computer crash. | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
Now, all this week we've been reporting on the residents evacuated | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
from tower blocks in Camden because of fire safety concerns. | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Thousands of people living on the Chalcots estate were moved | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
after their flats were found to have similar cladding to that | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Today, we've been hearing that many are returning | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
to their homes because of uncertainty over rehousing. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
Ayshea Buksh is there for us this evening. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
This is the leisure centre just in front of the state where people have | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
been coming all day to get information on all sorts of things, | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
where can I watch their children's close them how well their post be | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
redirected, and where will they be living for the JCB 's? This | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
evacuation was done with the best interests on the visitors, but not | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
everyone deals are positive about how it is being carried out. | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
It is home to hundreds of people, but while cladding is | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
removed from tower blocks on the Chalcots | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
estate in Swiss Cottage, residents must simply wait. | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
After the evacuation before the weekend, | :14:51. | :14:51. | |
many were forced to stay on air beds at the local leisure centre. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Others are with family or in temporary accommodation. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
This couple have been staying at a hotel in Euston | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
The hotel told us we have to check out today, | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
and we've got 90 minutes to go and pack all our stuff and leave. | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
We don't know where we're going to go next. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Other residents are also anxious about the uncertainty. | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
10:45 in the evening, somebody called and said, | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
we have found you a place, can you move? | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
I said, yes, I can, but for how long? | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
I am not going to move for two nights. | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
With the children had everything, you wake them up at 10:45 | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
in the evening, they don't sleep, let's go, we have to move. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Then you have to return back into the sports hall. | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
Last night in Parliament, Camden Council was praised by the | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
Communities Secretary for taking swift action, | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
and he said all local authorities and housing associations | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
must act immediately to ensure public safety, regardless of | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
There are problems with gas pipe installation, stairways that | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
are well-known accessible, breaches of internal walls, and most | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
astonishingly there were hundreds, literally hundreds of fire | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
The estimate by the council itself is that they need at least | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
1000 fire doors because they were missing from those blocks. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
Camden Council have said the missing doors will be replaced during | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
The leader says she wants people to be | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
safely back in their homes as soon as possible. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Residents have been told this could take up to six weeks. | :16:31. | :16:42. | |
Let's not forget many quintile residents are still in temporary | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
accommodation across London. You had the committee 's secretary said type | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
of action should be taken no matter what the cost, we spoke to Camden | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
has an asked them about the contribution from central Government | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
and they said so far there has not been any comedy Department of | :17:00. | :17:00. | |
communities declined to comment. 50 years ago today the first cash | :17:01. | :17:14. | |
machine was born here in Enfield. Find out more later in the | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
programme. And so far this week we have had sublime sunshine and a | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
ridiculous amount of rain. The forecast later, I will tell you | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
what's happening in the next few days. | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Devastating and frightening - that's the response from parents | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
of severely disabled children who've been told their respite care | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
home is going to close because of spending cuts. | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Nascot Lawn in Watford looks after the most disabled children | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
in Hertfordshire at weekends to give their parents a break. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
But local NHS officials say it's got to close to help | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
Ten-year-old Lennon is unable to do anything for himself. He is severely | :17:45. | :18:03. | |
disabled with complex medical needs. His mother Nikki says Kerry for her | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
son at their home near Stevenage is demanding and exhausting. He has | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
lots of medications that take me about half an hour to drop the | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
mornings. He requires hourly care throughout the day and roughly two | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
hourly care throughout the night. It is hard. There has been a few times | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
when we reached breaking point. To help Nicky and her partner Cope, | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Lenin spends one weekend a month here at Mascot Lawn in Watford. It | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
offers unique respite care for 60 severely disabled children from | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
across Hertfordshire. Just get some sleep really. Some time off and a | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
break, recharge our batteries. It does mean the world and it keeps us | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
going. But none had such a valid clinical commissioning group says it | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
cannot afford the ?700,000 annual running costs any longer. It says it | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
is under huge pressure from the Government to save ?45 million this | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
year, and says it is not responsible for funding respite care and can | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
only afford to pay for services it is legally responsible for. The | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
clinical commissioning group says happy to chat county council's | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
response ability to pay for the care children receive her. But the | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
council says it cannot afford their servers either. But says it will | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
offer to help and support to the children in any other way possible. | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Nicky and other parents are now fighting to keep the home of open. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
They say it is scandalous and unfair that once again of vulnerable people | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
are caught up in the middle of a row over who should pay for their care. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
We have fought for the last ten years to keep Lennon alive, and it | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
has been a daily battle. Actually we do anything for him I just feel that | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
if we do not get respite, I don't know what the future holds, I really | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
don't. I am scared. I'm scared to do it discuss it, what is go to happen | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
to our family, but didn't happen to my son in the future. Devastating, | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
really devastating. It was technology which totally | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
changed the way we think about and use cash - | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
the world's first ATM. Installed at a Barclays Bank | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
in Enfield, that original cash machine was unveiled | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
50 years ago today. But with an ever-growing | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
number of ways to pay, It was much more than a spectacle. | :20:24. | :20:39. | |
The world's first cash machine was born right here in Enfield half a | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
century ago. Judith Simpson was 20 years old that they, she came to see | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
what all the fuss was about. I remember there was quite a crowd | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
outside the bank, a lot of people did not really know what was going | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
on. I think people came just to be nosy. I remember that Reg Varney was | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
here and he put some sort of piece of paper into the machine and | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
allocate money. Which was extraordinary in those days, to get | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
money out of a wall was a bizarre. The girl Christine celebrates the | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
history major that they, but the actual cashpoint 50 years ago was | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
installed around the corner. Elizabeth Weiser was nine when she | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
stood and watched history happen. You put your car down and it was | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
like magic. You have to look back at how things started, and an ATM was | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
like a pioneer of how we operate now with the digital world. It was one | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
of the first steps, so it was incredibly significant. But they | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
didn't realise that then cut them had a crystal ball. The rate of | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
change has been rapid. Today we have numerous ways to pay, by our cars, | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
watches, and phones. Do we still need cash? Or even banks? Will be | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
humble ATM supply? Be used have about 20,000 bank branches in the | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
UK, similar 4000. Cash machines will actually provide 99% of all the | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
services that people can get from bank branches today. Technology is | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
transforming the way we pay for things. Making our lives easier. It | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
is all thanks to the hole in the wall, born here 50 years ago today. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Now - he sold over 30 million albums, won multiple awards | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
and crawled onto the Top of the Pops stage dressed in gold lame. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Leee John and his soul group Imagination dominated the charts | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Now the self proclaimed "North London soulboy-made-good" | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
is back, and Thomas Magill's been reminiscing with him, | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
as he celebrates 35 years in the business. | :22:52. | :23:08. | |
Pop trio Kept imagination, but it is banned in the 80s, when what you | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
wore was just as important as what you were singing. If you remember | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
London at that time, the end of the 70s, end of the 80s, everyone had a | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
look. What we were doing was an extension of the club scene. There | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
was a whole funk movement, everybody was dressing, everyone looked sharp. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Ever wanted to be uniquely different. So we just extended the | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
way we looked onto the stage. And for Leee John, that identity were so | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
important he has held onto many other unique outfits and handmade | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
accessories worn at the time. And welcome... Tee Leee's layer of | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
costumes. This like a memory lane for me. So many parts of my life. 35 | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
years in Imagination. Despite this looks familiar. Well, and top of the | :24:07. | :24:16. | |
Pops, we had a big hit called Just An Illusion, and I believe I had a | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
mask on the back of my head, and this was the outfit that I wore. | :24:21. | :24:32. | |
Goodes in those early days, Leee says the rare few other black | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
British art is on the scene, but there was one who he says was more | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
than helpful. When a way to Highbury Grove school, not far was Stoke | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Newington, when it was a studio and Eddy Grant used to be there, we used | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
to go to his studio and he's together is fantastic advice. I have | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
known Eddie said I was a kid. The state, Leee is all grown up, still | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
making music and performing, other he does admit the moves are just a | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
little tamer. Moves have evolved,. I could still do my spins, that is | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
cool. Here's another one. I can still do that. I would say he still | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
got it. Now the weather with Wendy - | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
and I expect gardeners in London If you like the summer weather, | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
probably this is not your cup of tea. It will be much point in Lucky | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
a watering can around at the moment. There is plenty of rain falling | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
across London, we started with heavy showers, these and the bright | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
flashes unity on the radar picture. Accompanied by some thundery | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
activity as well. If we just zoom out slightly can start to see what | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
we've got now and what is coming next. Rain on the radar picture, | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
working up from the south. Heavy bursts, still plenty of it to come | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
through this evening. The Met office has as covered by a yellow weather | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
warning, that is because we could have flooding and places and it is | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
not to be nice to dry. It may also cause disruption to our transport. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
Here's how it will play out. Overnight, rain fairly consistent as | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
we go through, within its heavy bursts as well, not out of the rails | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
applies it to get one or two rumbles of thunder. My day with temperatures | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
there were lower than 1415 Celsius. Tomorrow, just about with rain with | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
us, particularly west and north London. Pulls away from 's adviser, | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
leaving us try and brighter into the afternoon, but any brightness may | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
trigger of one or two showers later in the day, so it will be very humid | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
and temperatures will get to around 20 Celsius. Was the end of the week, | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
precious little sunshine, maybe one or two showers on Thursday, bits and | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
pieces of rain about to the first part of Friday as well, and we are | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
all going to feel humid. Was the weekend, a slight change to the | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
weather, that is a little bit of a breeze is going to start picking up. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Was the end of the week, rain started to move away, rain should be | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
overnight leaving us try and brighter in the day with breezy | :27:11. | :27:11. | |
conditions into the weekend. In our late programme, a special | :27:12. | :27:23. | |
report on a fire warning issued by the London Fire Brigade, weeks | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
before the Grenfell Tower disaster. A letter obtained by this programme | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
was sent to all councils in London, warning of cladding panels. It | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
followed a fire in Shepherd's Bush last year. | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
We will be back later during the ten o'clock news, | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
but for now from everyone on the team have a lovely evening. | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Brexit means Brexit. We did it! | :27:46. | :27:58. | |
To pretend that it's going to be plain sailing is such | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
knuckle-headed lunacy. Happy days are here. | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
They have said one thing one day, another thing the next day. | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
think during the year that changed British politics? | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
18 weeks tomorrow and we're still here, still going strong. | :28:16. | :28:17. |
