:00:08. > :00:11.to help deal with the Grenfell Tower fire.
:00:12. > :00:14.Well, I welcome it, but I have not seen anyone.
:00:15. > :00:16.No one in a high visibility jacket that you can see.
:00:17. > :00:25.I have not seen any officials, anyone from the castle.
:00:26. > :00:29.We also discover that London is to get new fire platforms to help
:00:30. > :00:31.deal with any future fires in tower blocks.
:00:32. > :00:33.The unprovoked acid attack which is raising fears
:00:34. > :00:38.over hate crime in Asian and Muslim communities.

:01:12. > :01:20.independent experts to help run parts of Kensington
:01:21. > :01:23.It comes after fierce criticism of the council's handling
:01:24. > :01:26.of the Grenfell Fire tragedy, which has continued even after some
:01:27. > :01:32.Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan, has more details
:01:33. > :01:35.about today's decision and he can also tell us how
:01:36. > :01:47.There are so many things to do, so much help is needed and not just for
:01:48. > :01:51.those in Grenfell Tower itself, the wider community has been affected.
:01:52. > :01:54.This man wants a flat in the block overlooking the tower, he has not
:01:55. > :02:01.stayed there since the fire, where he says if the information and
:02:02. > :02:04.advice? We need more people, you feel safe when you see people in
:02:05. > :02:08.high visibility jackets, officials, informing you, updating as that what
:02:09. > :02:13.will happen and then everyone will feel safe. Who is telling you things
:02:14. > :02:19.at the moment? You, the media, no one else. No details about the task
:02:20. > :02:24.force, how many people and where they come from. But we know this.
:02:25. > :02:29.The special focus of this recovery parks -- task force will be on
:02:30. > :02:33.housing regeneration and community engagement. To one Conservative
:02:34. > :02:39.councillor in Kensington, this seems to be the targeted help needed. The
:02:40. > :02:42.focus is on helping people in North Kensington, not on issuing parking
:02:43. > :02:46.permits to people in Chelsea or whatever. It is about helping the
:02:47. > :02:50.people of North Kensington, that is where the resources should be
:02:51. > :02:54.concentrated, so I think this is absolutely the right thing to do.
:02:55. > :02:56.But the Labour Party including the Mayor of London have argued it is
:02:57. > :03:04.not enough and want a full-blown team of commissioners to take over
:03:05. > :03:07.the council while survivors have said that better communication will
:03:08. > :03:12.only trust. If that is improved in the proper way, we should not have
:03:13. > :03:19.many problems. We should not, because we are going to be one unit,
:03:20. > :03:22.the communication will be clearer. The council has faced protests and
:03:23. > :03:28.criticism and got its own staff stretched to the limit this looks
:03:29. > :03:31.like vital relief. You cannot exist in an emergency situation for a very
:03:32. > :03:37.long time. Kensington and Chelsea Council needs assistance to run
:03:38. > :03:41.business as usual and to handle this disaster that has landed slap bang
:03:42. > :03:45.in the area and that is the right thing to do and we need that
:03:46. > :03:49.support. There is no indication yet how long that support will be needed
:03:50. > :03:54.for but nothing after this looks like BSA. -- looks like being easy.
:03:55. > :04:02.So, Tim, what details do we have so far?
:04:03. > :04:08.It depends on who you talk to. John Healey, the Shadow Housing Minister
:04:09. > :04:13.of the Labour Party believes it does not go far enough because it leads
:04:14. > :04:16.to much controlling power with that administration at Kensington and
:04:17. > :04:22.Chelsea Council, that will enough hard decisions be made if necessary?
:04:23. > :04:27.The London Mayor Sadiq Khan runs with a similar idea, suggesting that
:04:28. > :04:32.commissioners should hang around, be sent in but remain there until the
:04:33. > :04:37.local elections next April, displaying his platoon and thinks
:04:38. > :04:40.they are, if it is right to talk about these things, that there is no
:04:41. > :04:45.hope that Labour can take control of the Council given how many problems
:04:46. > :04:49.they have had there. Clearly, for the administration, this is a better
:04:50. > :04:58.solution being targeted and focused on certain services and it is being
:04:59. > :05:01.stressed that there is a chief executive, a new chief executive on
:05:02. > :05:04.an acting basis within the Council at the moment. He is the chief
:05:05. > :05:07.executive of Lewisham and it has been stressed that this independent
:05:08. > :05:13.task force will report regularly back to the Secretary of State
:05:14. > :05:18.himself. But self evidently, it is good news for this conservative or
:05:19. > :05:22.that it has not got a hit squad or is not in special measures and it is
:05:23. > :05:26.good for the government to be able to avoid that situation for one of
:05:27. > :05:31.its very important local authorities. In the end, however, of
:05:32. > :05:36.course, this will be judged on how it goes down with the people it is
:05:37. > :05:41.aimed at, the survivors, the people affected in that wider community and
:05:42. > :05:45.right now I am not sure we are particularly bothered whether that
:05:46. > :05:49.is being delivered by officials, officers employed by the council
:05:50. > :05:52.directly or wherever they come from, as long as they start to see
:05:53. > :05:56.progress on some of these key issues for them as soon as possible. I
:05:57. > :05:58.believe that is the key point for local people as well. Tim Donovan,
:05:59. > :05:59.thank you for that. Well, let me tell you that
:06:00. > :06:02.within the past few hours, part of a building neighbouring
:06:03. > :06:04.Grenfell Tower has been evacuated Our reporter Tolu Adeoye is at
:06:05. > :06:25.the North Kensington Law Centre. Well, the Grenfell Tower is just
:06:26. > :06:30.behind this building and the issue with the building is at the basement
:06:31. > :06:33.level where there are a number of retail units and business units and
:06:34. > :06:36.the back onto the investigation site of the Grenfell-type which means
:06:37. > :06:40.that one of the exits is blocked off. The London Fire Brigade has
:06:41. > :06:45.said that this poses a fire safety risk, which is why the basement
:06:46. > :06:48.level has been evacuated. The North Kensington Law Centre is one
:06:49. > :06:52.organisation that is inside that unit, I spoke to one of the
:06:53. > :06:57.solicitors earlier. We were going about our normal daily business,
:06:58. > :07:02.there were officers doing fire safety checks in the building, B but
:07:03. > :07:06.then immediately advised to evacuate urgently. Whilst outside we spoke to
:07:07. > :07:11.a police officer and he explained that the fire brigade had
:07:12. > :07:14.recommended three weeks ago, the day after the fire, to the council that
:07:15. > :07:18.the building was not safe for commercial use as there was only one
:07:19. > :07:22.escape. There were fire escape is the crime scene, my concern is that
:07:23. > :07:26.not only have we been in love for three weeks, we have had clients,
:07:27. > :07:31.some are from the Grenfell-type are coming into our building. Had
:07:32. > :07:37.another crisis occurred, I do not know how the council can defend
:07:38. > :07:40.that. So, serious questions over why it took three weeks for the
:07:41. > :07:44.authorities to decide that this basement level potentially was not
:07:45. > :07:49.safe, for now the North Kensington law centre is taken up the nearby
:07:50. > :07:53.community Centre, within the church, across the street. We should point
:07:54. > :07:58.out that the Grenfell response team has said that at no point was the
:07:59. > :08:00.tower unsafe, it was purely an issue with the fire exit in the basement
:08:01. > :08:03.level. Thank you very much for that. Well, another major development
:08:04. > :08:04.regarding Grenfell, which BBC More equipment could be on the way
:08:05. > :08:08.to help tackle future fires. Karl, this could be a major addition
:08:09. > :08:22.for the Fire Brigade. Yes, it could be, you will remember
:08:23. > :08:26.during the night of the fire, shots of that firemen on an aerial
:08:27. > :08:30.platform, not able to go quite high enough and that was borrowed from
:08:31. > :08:34.Surrey because their ladders go up to 42 metres, the ones in London do
:08:35. > :08:38.not go that high and questions were then asked as to why London does not
:08:39. > :08:45.have ladders like they do in New York which go even higher. Models in
:08:46. > :08:49.Finland were looked at which go up to 100 metres, manufacturers have
:08:50. > :08:52.said that they could have helped in the incident at Grenfell Tower. We
:08:53. > :08:55.know it is something that the London Fire Brigade biking and because they
:08:56. > :09:00.are about to renew their feet and they have been looking at what is
:09:01. > :09:01.around there and do something that Dany Cotton, the Fire Commissioner
:09:02. > :09:04.spoke to us about. We're just about to replace our
:09:05. > :09:06.aerial fleet, so as part of that we will look
:09:07. > :09:09.at the new technology that will allow us to have
:09:10. > :09:11.taller aerial platforms. The problem until now has been
:09:12. > :09:14.in London that the streets are quite narrow and there is weight loading
:09:15. > :09:16.and the previous Technology has changed,
:09:17. > :09:19.there is lighter equipment, so absolutely, that will be one
:09:20. > :09:25.of our priorities. There seems to be some movement on
:09:26. > :09:30.that as well. Yes, after that meeting with the London Mayor and
:09:31. > :09:33.the Fire Commissioner, we met last Wednesday and essentially the London
:09:34. > :09:39.Mayor said to the Fire Commissioner, what do you need to avoid a future
:09:40. > :09:42.Grenfell Tower incident, Dromey up a list. I understand he has that list
:09:43. > :09:46.and that will go to government within the next few days if it has
:09:47. > :09:51.not already gone and on that list, I am told is a demand for three new
:09:52. > :09:55.aerial platforms which will possibly go higher, be lighter and more
:09:56. > :10:01.mobile than the current one is used. And will also come with a hefty
:10:02. > :10:11.price tag, somewhere between ?2.5 million and ?3 million, and that is
:10:12. > :10:13.money that the London Mayor will demand from the government.
:10:14. > :10:16.I have asked the London Fire Brigade Commissioner Dany Cotton to do
:10:17. > :10:19.an urgent review of what else she thinks we need as a Fire Service
:10:20. > :10:22.in London to make sure that we can deal with fires in tower blocks
:10:23. > :10:25.and that will mean additional resources from central government
:10:26. > :10:27.to pay for the additional machinery that the London Fire Brigade needs.
:10:28. > :10:32.And what are the chances of getting that money? You would have to think
:10:33. > :10:34.there will never be a better time from London to make that argument
:10:35. > :10:37.and many would be astonished if they did not get that upgrade in wake of
:10:38. > :10:41.this recent Grenfell Tower disaster. Thank you very much for that.
:10:42. > :10:43.So those are our main stories these evening,
:10:44. > :10:50.There's much more to come, including...
:10:51. > :10:53.She helped with the medal haul in Rio, now Georgie Hermitage has
:10:54. > :10:59.set her sights on gold at London 2017.
:11:00. > :11:01.This programme has seen figures which show reported acid
:11:02. > :11:04.attacks in London have more than doubled since 2014.
:11:05. > :11:07.One of the latest was in Beckton as two cousins sat in a car at
:11:08. > :11:15.Police are treating it as a hate crime and it's heightened fears
:11:16. > :11:17.in the Asian and Muslim communities about their safety.
:11:18. > :11:32.A warning that some viewers may find images in this report upsetting.
:11:33. > :11:38.Two cousins out celebrating a birthday. One had just turned 21,
:11:39. > :11:43.she was sitting in a car with her cousin Jamil when acid was sprayed
:11:44. > :11:48.into their faces. This shocking attacks a few weeks ago are being
:11:49. > :11:51.treated as a hate crime. I cannot see, I keep thinking this guy will
:11:52. > :11:57.come for me. I am having nightmares, there is no reason why this would
:11:58. > :12:09.not be racially motivated. Ever since, many in the Asian and Muslim
:12:10. > :12:14.communities are concerned. Police are investigating a suspected acid
:12:15. > :12:18.attack here in a mile end, where two people were taken to hospital. The
:12:19. > :12:27.motivation of that attack is not knowing but it appears to be feeding
:12:28. > :12:31.into a sense of worry. It does make me worry because I saw on Facebook,
:12:32. > :12:35.Muslim people are getting attacked, acid attacks by someone. I feel
:12:36. > :12:42.scared sometimes to go outside because anything can happen. People
:12:43. > :12:47.can be around me and throw acid at me, I am scared. I do not true that
:12:48. > :12:52.it is safe to go out in London any more, there is knife crime, hate
:12:53. > :13:00.crime. Overall, acid attacks have risen, year-on-year. In 2014 to
:13:01. > :13:04.2015, 188 people were injured as a result of an acid attack. The
:13:05. > :13:10.following financial year it increased to 317. And up until the
:13:11. > :13:14.month of April this year, it jumped again to 398. There seems to be a
:13:15. > :13:17.rise and that is prevalent to East London and we do not know why. The
:13:18. > :13:23.perception that it is being used more and more in hate crime, what is
:13:24. > :13:26.your response to that? I have no evidence to suggest that it is used
:13:27. > :13:31.as a weapon for hate crime, I have not seen that as an increase and I
:13:32. > :13:37.would say that if anybody believes that the case, they need to tell us.
:13:38. > :13:42.This man set up a petition, calling for more restrictions on household
:13:43. > :13:48.products, which can be used in such attacks. I saw family members being
:13:49. > :13:54.attacked, so hopefully get some letters sent to some MPs, get it in
:13:55. > :14:01.Parliament, get a law put in place for some kind of deterrent and then
:14:02. > :14:05.we will hopefully see a crackdown on the purchase of acid attack related
:14:06. > :14:10.resources. There does not seem to be a rise of acid attacks connected to
:14:11. > :14:20.hate crimes in the past, but this is now creating a real fear. Alpa
:14:21. > :14:24.Patel, BBC News. London's first mobile chemotherapy
:14:25. > :14:25.unit has been visiting It's provided for by a charity,
:14:26. > :14:29.working with the Royal Marsden It's aim is to reduce the stress
:14:30. > :14:33.for patients undergoing treatment and Tarah Welsh has been to see how
:14:34. > :14:36.well it works. From afar it looks like any other
:14:37. > :14:39.lorry, but get closer and you will see it is so much more
:14:40. > :14:42.to those who use it. This mobile chemotherapy unit
:14:43. > :14:44.is supposed to relieve the stress It will make a great difference,
:14:45. > :14:54.where it would be just a two-hour Ordinarily, it could be
:14:55. > :14:57.up to four, five hours The unit cost ?260,000
:14:58. > :15:02.to build and maintain, and the charity that has paid for it
:15:03. > :15:07.says it is worth it. In 2002, I lost my husband to cancer
:15:08. > :15:10.and one of the many stresses we faced was travelling
:15:11. > :15:13.from our home to So when I started the charity,
:15:14. > :15:17.I knew I wanted to help with the travelling and I met
:15:18. > :15:21.Dr Sean who is a consultant oncologist and he had a vision
:15:22. > :15:23.to take chemotherapy closer to patients as well,
:15:24. > :15:26.so it was a light bulb moment. The unit will be based at different
:15:27. > :15:31.locations across Croydon initially. It can treat up to four
:15:32. > :15:34.people at a time and up The locations will be determined
:15:35. > :15:40.by where eligible patients live and it will be operated by staff
:15:41. > :15:43.from the Royal Marsden. We've got strict rules
:15:44. > :15:46.as to which patients can come on here so that there
:15:47. > :15:50.are not any issues. So if there was a patient
:15:51. > :15:52.that was likely to react to their medication,
:15:53. > :15:54.then they would not be on here for treatment because,
:15:55. > :15:57.like you say, we will be out in the community without the back-up
:15:58. > :16:00.of the doctors right there, but the doctors will always be
:16:01. > :16:05.at the end of a phone. I am officially opening
:16:06. > :16:07.this unit today. Ross Brawn is usually associated
:16:08. > :16:10.with a different type of vehicle A similar unit was named after his
:16:11. > :16:19.mother whom he lost to cancer. Christine kindly agreed
:16:20. > :16:22.to name that unit Teddy and that is principally based
:16:23. > :16:25.in Berkshire, where we live, but it also moves around
:16:26. > :16:28.and supports local needs And it's hoped people
:16:29. > :17:01.in South London and Surrey will be I probably had one year to 18 months
:17:02. > :17:02.to live, probably the biggest bombshell I have experienced in my
:17:03. > :17:04.life. The fear and stigma around the Aids
:17:05. > :17:07.pandemic, documented in film and photography with some of those
:17:08. > :17:15.diagnosed with HIV in the '80s. Georgie Hermitage gave up her love
:17:16. > :17:17.for athletics as a teenager after being left furious
:17:18. > :17:20.when it was suggested that she tries "disability sport" instead
:17:21. > :17:23.as a result of her cerebral palsy. Until she saw brilliant
:17:24. > :17:28.Paralympians during London 2012, which made her want to get involved
:17:29. > :17:31.at the highest level. She even makes the hard work look
:17:32. > :17:41.easy, the hours in the gym that she hopes will pay off
:17:42. > :17:44.with gold at London 2017, but Georgie Hermitage's talent
:17:45. > :17:46.was almost lost to athletics At the time my coach turned
:17:47. > :17:52.around and said, "Georgie, you might be able to qualify
:17:53. > :17:55.for Para sport in the Paralympics" and at the age of 14 that is not
:17:56. > :17:59.what you want to hear and I walked away because I was basically
:18:00. > :18:11.unwilling to accept my disability. It was watching the London
:18:12. > :18:13.2012 Olympics that drew you back to athletics,
:18:14. > :18:16.what was the moment in particular Yes, it was the night
:18:17. > :18:23.that Mo won the 5000, I think we had tickets,
:18:24. > :18:25.we were about row five from the front, really close,
:18:26. > :18:28.and just the atmosphere and Mo won and that was just the
:18:29. > :18:30.turning point for me. It just made me reconsider all of my
:18:31. > :18:34.decisions from ten years previously. She won two golds in Rio last year
:18:35. > :18:39.in the T37 400m and the 100m, which was Britain's first athletics
:18:40. > :18:45.gold of the Games. When the gun goes,
:18:46. > :18:48.it is like someone else You can see the relief of, "Oh,
:18:49. > :18:56.my God," this was the one for me that I knew would be
:18:57. > :19:01.the pressure event. Georgie, you promised your daughter
:19:02. > :19:03.Tilly that you would bring gold back from Rio, you brought two
:19:04. > :19:06.and a silver, is she expecting more Unfortunately, kids don't
:19:07. > :19:09.mince their words, do they? So she is pretty cut-throat
:19:10. > :19:12.about what she expects. So she does not understand
:19:13. > :19:14.the medals but she understands flags, so whenever we see
:19:15. > :19:18.a Union Jack, I will be driving along and she will go, "Mummy,
:19:19. > :19:21.mummy, it's your flags, There is every chance
:19:22. > :19:27.Georgie Hermitage will be flying the flag for Great Britain again
:19:28. > :19:30.when the World Para-Athletics Championships begin
:19:31. > :19:32.in London on July the 14th. And good luck to Georgie Hermitage

:24:12. > :24:19.are invited to get involved, whether it's music, photography

:24:22. > :24:36.London this afternoon, I thought, "What a great day
:24:37. > :24:38.to be at Wimbledon." So I'm very envious
:24:39. > :24:48.of Kate, who's there! Yes, it has been an absolutely
:24:49. > :24:51.beautiful day here at Wimbledon. A full day of play today of course,
:24:52. > :25:00.barely a cloud in the sky. You might notice a breeze here now, very
:25:01. > :25:02.welcomed. The temperature over at Heathrow, 29.3 degrees earlier
:25:03. > :25:07.today, similar at Wimbledon, so it has been very hot indeed. As we head
:25:08. > :25:12.into the evening, it will be really nice, the sun is still up, it is a
:25:13. > :25:15.pleasantly warm evening and overnight and at the temperature is
:25:16. > :25:19.gradually dropping. It will be quite a humid one, quite uncomfortable
:25:20. > :25:24.tonight, clear spells, yes, but the minimum temperature only dropping
:25:25. > :25:27.between 17, 18 Celsius within the M25, so quiet and comfortable for
:25:28. > :25:31.sleeping tonight. You will notice we will have one or two showers working
:25:32. > :25:36.up from the south as you can see and the Met office has issued a yellow
:25:37. > :25:45.weather warning for the showers. If you do get them, they will be heavy
:25:46. > :25:48.and thundery, you will notice them but many places will actually avoid
:25:49. > :25:51.them. If you get them in the south especially, they should clear as you
:25:52. > :25:53.head towards lunchtime. By the time play begins tomorrow we should see
:25:54. > :26:00.it drying out, good news for here but for the north, the heat could
:26:01. > :26:05.spark off a thunderstorm or two. But it will be another hot one, plenty
:26:06. > :26:09.of sunshine later in the afternoon and temperatures reaching around 30
:26:10. > :26:13.Celsius, so another very warm day. Overnight tomorrow, it will be
:26:14. > :26:18.another warm and muggy night, ones that cloud clears in the day that
:26:19. > :26:23.humidity will start to build. So for Thursday night, into Friday, we are
:26:24. > :26:26.looking at another warm day, I'm afraid, not that we're complaining!
:26:27. > :26:30.Plenty of dry weather for Friday and lots of sunshine are around. As we
:26:31. > :26:33.head towards the next two days into the weekend as well, there is plenty
:26:34. > :26:38.of dry weather around, we could start to see one or two showers for
:26:39. > :26:42.Saturday but we hang onto that aid, temperatures into the high 20s in
:26:43. > :26:46.London, not until Sunday when we will start to notice things getting
:26:47. > :26:48.fresher. Thank you and have a lovely evening,
:26:49. > :26:49.Kate. Before we go tonight, a look
