26/07/2017 London News

Coming up tonight, a BBC London exclusive.

One of the London Bridge terrorists filmed at Speakers Corner.

He threatened to kill a former Muslim for leaving the faith.

He said if you don't obey my religion, you should be killed. I

knew it, you know, this guy was going to do something stupid. And he

did. I just regret why didn't I tell this the police? If I did I'd have

saved many lives. We'll also hear from other former

Muslims who claim they face Two men are being treated

for life changing burns. The future is uncertain

for these pre-schoolers, as some nurseries struggle to meet

the government's promise And the residents who aren't safe

from getting parking fines, even when their cars

on their driveways. This programme has been

handed footage of one of the London Bridge attackers,

Khuram Butt, who, with his accomplices, killed eight people

last month near Borough market. The pictures show Butt arguing

with another man at Speakers' The man he was arguing with,

who gave BBC London the footage, He claims Butt had told him,

he should be killed The man says he now regrets

not telling the police Gareth Furby has this

exclusive report. Is this the ringleader

of the London Bridge terror attack, Khuram Butt, at Hyde Park Corner

just months before he organised Wearing a Superman sweatshirt and

arguing with other people just months before he organised that

murderous attack. We know it is him because it has been confirmed to us

today by a relative and compare his face is pictured at Hyde Park with

the image issued after the London Bridge attack in June. Butt is seen

smiling but moments before the mobile phone camera had been turned

on to capture him arguing, he told a former Muslim he should be killed

for leaving the religion. The man that was threatened fiscal Aftal.

He's called Aftal and comes from north-west London and has asked

us to withhold his identity so we've used an actor to voice his words.

We're also going to show you some of the things Butt said the tame

trinkets-mac time. He came up and said I want

to have a discussion. He turned suddenly and got personal

and started threatening that He was just threatening and very

aggressive but when the people started to come, he got

a bit calmer. If I'm not sure that the Koran

is true, I can do this. I have firm belief

the Koran is true. He said if you don't obey my

religion, you should be killed. I knew it, you know,

this guy was going to do I just regret why didn't I inform

this to the police because if I did Maybe the police

would have listened. This mobile phone footage filmed,

we were told last August, was given to us at the weekend

after we visited a London address It's the headquarters of a group

who called themselves The Council Of Ex-Muslims Of

Britain. They claim a growing membership

and say in London some people Sadia Hamid says she left

the religion when she was 19. Because of the inequality

between men and women. Now she claims people

who work here faced threats. Threats of being shot,

threats of being bombed. Another ex-Muslims says he's been

threatened in London The threats, I went on a bus

for example one day and two people recognised me,

and they said, you should be killed. This weekend, the group organised

a conference at a London address that wasn't reveal to anyone

except those involved, We can fight for the right to leave

and criticise religion, and especially Islam without fear,

without threats, and A leading London Imam says no true

Muslim would threaten anyone Islam does not promote

hatred, homophobia or Islam promotes equality,

dignity and honour of all people. But some ex-Muslims to see green

and it was at this conference that Aftal gave us this mobile phone

footage of an encounter with a man who does resemble

the London Bridge bomb. I felt really bad when

the attacks happened. I could have reported

him to the police. And tonight the Met Police said that

they'd encourage the public That's our top story this evening,

but this is what's still We've heard how the government wants

to ban diesel and petrol cars, so we all have cleaner air

but is London ready for it? Two men are being treated

in a specialist burns unit, One of them, Shakwat Hussain,

from East London, has told this programme he believes he knows

who attacked him and his friend. This is London's new approach to

tackling acid attacks. Firefighters attending not burning buildings but

burning people. These men urgently need cold water on their wounds.

This is the latest in a wave of suspected acid attacks that shows no

signs of stopping. Last night, those two men in their 20s were targeted

in Bethnal Green and Bow while driving. They ran into this shop. He

didn't want to be on camera. There were two Bengali boys came into the

shop. They screamed that they got acid attack. I gave them some water

to wash their face. After that, they were helping themselves to the water

and I was calling the ambulance for them as well. I spoke to one of the

victims, 24 old Shakwat Hussain, and I managed to speak to him on his

phone from his hospital bed. He was shaken up but in good spirits and

said he was being taken good care. Today he is being transferred to a

specialist burns unit in Chelmsford. The most startling thing he said was

he was with a friend of his, they were driving along, someone they

knew flag sundown and as soon as he got close enough, he got acid in his

face. Acid attacks are becoming more common and more high profile sticky

in East London. In April, 20 people were hurt and to badly attacked. Two

weeks ago, five people were attacked in less than 90 minutes in Hackney.

And last night it was Bethnal Green and Bow. No wonder young people here

are feelings get. It is happening in areas that we're walking down the

street. You might be walking down the street 2pm, 5am, acid attack.

You check your phone, go on Twitter, you see a video of someone getting

attacked at a place where you just walked by ten minutes ago. It

could've been me, my mum, anyone. It is a problem and can happen to

anyone. While this new attack is new attention and promises of action,

those affected will wonder why more hasn't been done before.

You've been in touch with one of the victim's family.

When I spoke to them last night the family were in good spirits. I spoke

to one of the victims, Shakwat Hussain. I was surprised by how well

he sounded given circumstances. If I'm honest, speaking to them today,

the reality of what's happened to him is starting to sink in. His face

has swollen up, they've also taken a trip to the Chelmsford specialist

burns unit to get properly assessed and I think as the journey ahead

gets clearer for them, certainly I think the mood within the family is

changing. There was a lot of talk last week

about tackling acid attacks, and now another one,

how long before a changes are seen? We have seen some changes already.

You saw in the peace there that the fire service were attending acid

attacks. That is a new thing that has been brought in. The police now

carrying acid response kits, they include five litre bottles of water

to dowse victims. So important to get cold running water there

quickly. In terms of supply and demand of these corrosive liquids,

penalising and heavily regulating the people that supply them and

punishing the people who carry them, that requires a change in the law so

it will take longer. OK, thank you very much.

The future of some nurseries in London is looking uncertain

as they struggle to meet the government's promise

of free extra childcare for three and four-year-olds.

It's due to start in September but some nurseries say the financial

pressure of providing so many extra hours,

Tara Welsh reports from a nursery in Harlow.

It's an emotional day at this nursery in Harlow. After ten years

and four outstanding Ofsted ratings, it is closing its doors. Knowing two

of my children have had the most amazing experience that and my third

one won't get the opportunity to nurture and grow like the other two

did, it is just devastating. Three and four-year-olds are entitled to

15 hours free childcare week. From September, this goes up to 34

parents earning up to ?100,000. Some say the government money already

falls short. The children have their funded hours in the morning and then

they buy additional hours in the afternoon that are priced at a

higher rate but if I have to give them 15 hours free in the morning

and 15 hours free in the afternoon, I am going to double my loss, so I

am losing 30 pounder child per week, then ?60 per child per week. I still

have to pay the staff the same rate, they haven't had a wage increase and

they earn around ?8 50 an hour. And myself are subsidising parents that

are earning up to ?200,000 a year and that just about says it all,

really. For the free care, the government pays an hourly rate to

childcare providers which is administered by the local authority.

In a statement, they told us it has put an extra ?1 billion into pay for

the extra hours and to raise that hourly rate. But many nurseries say

they are actually going to receive much less. Almost on a daily basis I

receive either telephone calls or letters that come from providers

that have been in business for ten, 20, 30, 40 years in their

communities and this is the last straw for them. The government said

the pilot had been a huge success and it will help many thousands of

hard-working parents but some hearsay it doesn't feel like it to

them. It isn't free. It hasn't been very clear, the guidelines, and it

is very complex. The last day of term means new schools or nurseries

for these youngsters. Fortunately, it is the end of her livelihood and

a year career. A man who's serving a life sentence

for the rape and murder of a teenage model has admitted attacking

two other women. 18-year-old Sally Anne Bowman

was repeatedly stabbed in Croydon Appearing via videolink

at Southwark Crown Court, Dixie admitted to another rape

and a further attack on a women, A businessman from North London has

been found guilty of being part of a conspiracy to pass off

horsemeat as beef. Inner London Crown Court heard

how Andronicos Sideras, one of the owners of Dinos and Sons

in Tottenham, mixed the meats before Two other men had already pleaded

guilty to their part in the plot. So there's a good chance you've

heard the news that new diesel and petrol cars are to be

banned from 2040. But what kind of an impact

will that have in London? Yes, it might give us cleaner air,

but can the city cope with having Katharine Carpenter might

be able to tell us. This new super fast charger

for electric cars was unveiled It cuts charging time from three

to four hours, to half an hour. 100 more are planned in the borough

but we're going to need a lot more of kit like this if the whole

of London is going to be driving According to TfL, there are already

1,600 electric cars here in the capital and around 8,000

charging points but right now there So what's the priority in preparing

for that many electric cars? Stephen Quinn's had his since May

and says charging is key. I think it's just a question of

getting charging points in place. If you're installing charging points

from scratch, it's a tricky process with planning applications and all

that sort of stuff but if you're just installing a socket on the side

of a lamp post, it is a very simple thing to do.

But many here in the capital say this focus on electric cars

and a date 23 years away is a red herring and that today's Clean Air

Strategy from the government won't help our immediate

The Environment Secretary has pledged ?225 million for local

authorities to tackle their worst roads but City's Hall has

repeated its call for a diesel scrappage scheme in the capital

We think is targeting a couple of rows here and there isn't going to

be sufficient. If you look at London, we have multiple roads that

are breaching the pollution limits so you need an area approach and you

need the funding to tackle that. Finding a solution

and fast is pressing. Air pollution contributes

to 9,000 premature deaths Cars parked in private driveways

on a road in Gants Hill, have been regularly getting tickets

because the ends of their cars Residents are furious,

saying there's nothing they can do about it as the driveways

were constructed in the 1940s Helen Drew is on the street to tell

us and SHOW us the problem. This is what we're talking about

here. The car behind me is parked on the driver but the wheel is on the

pavement. And that is what is not allowed and that is where residents

have been getting fines. This car, whilst overhanging, has its wheel on

the driveway. That's OK. Why aren't people parking further on their

driveways? These driveways were not designed for modern cars and the

cars are parked as close to the front of the houses as they can be.

Residents are struggling to get their front doors open. I've been

speaking to many who cannot get their front doors open at all when

their car is parked entirely on their driveway and residents are

angry. It is totally crazy. I'd 5031 years and I've never heard this been

done in all 31 years. I feel disgusted. How can I say it? It is

not regular. It is irrational. It is also offensive. The council has said

to us that some residents are clearly obstructing the pavement so

we've got a tape measure and have come to the narrowest bit of

pavement we can find with the car with the biggest overhang and still

the clear bit of pavement is over 1.5 metres. The council in a

statement has said that residents have told us they are confused and

they will be working with them to offer advice to avoid them receiving

future fines. I'm joined now by the neighbourhood association chairman.

Thank you for joining us. They are talking about future fines but what

do you want to happen to existing fines? We'd like the fines returned

because they were unjustified and the first place. Most of them issued

two cars were for slightly over the driveway. The council responses

disappointing because it ignores representations that we have been

making. The one thing that is clear here that all residents who have

received fines fully intend to appeal them. OK, thanks very much,

Helen. Well, over one in ten women who die

within a year of giving Yet the mental health of pregnant

women and new mothers is something which isn't often talked about,

which is why a hospital in Paddington to trying

to change things. When Pippa fell pregnant, she says

she shouldn't have been happier. Her daughter was wanted, she was in a

happy, stable relationship so she couldn't understand why things were

so hard. I always thought being depressed was being sad and tired

and I was really angry and did have thoughts of not wanting to be here,

not because I didn't want to be here and be alive just because I didn't

feel like I could cope with all of it. There was one moment when I came

driving home and I wondered what it would be like if I crashed my car.

While postnatal depression is widely recognised, having mental health

problems when you are pregnant is just a bigger problem. One in five

women in the UK who have a baby will need mental help. It is the most

common side effect of pregnancy and it is dangerous. One in seven women

who die in the first year of their baby 's life will have killed

themselves. Why does no one talk about a? It makes you feel like

you're failing, it makes you feel like you are not being the mother

that your child deserves. And telling someone that, that is hard.

This woman needs a team at Saint Mary is hospital who treat pregnant

women and new mothers who have mental health problems. She wants to

get rid of the stigma stop and I'm finding it hard to get out of bed in

the morning. ?3 million grant means the centre can offer help to women

across boroughs. Abuse victims, new mums who can't bond with their baby.

This is a one-stop shop. It doesn't give women permission to become

unwell or to be honest about how unwell they can feel. Many women

have fear of childbirth or they might feel very strange with their

babies and these feelings are very difficult to disclose. Of a normal?

They are absolutely normal. 11 weeks old and the baby and mother have

nothing but love for each other. The secret is secure the signs early to

secure a happy future. This funding is great for patients

at St Mary's but what about those It is great news that five boroughs

now have this team of 20 people dealing with midwives who will go

out into the community to check women are OK, specialists dealing

with mothers bonding with babies but it is patchy. What people like that

Doctor are worried about is that women not being spotted. They want

more people being seen and the consequences for a woman not treated

early enough during her pregnancy can be catastrophic. That said,

there is a sense of relief that there is now an awareness that when

a woman falls pregnant, what she might be feeling or sensing might

not be part and parcel of just her pregnancy. There is a need now for

people to talk more about it. And if you are a woman and you are pregnant

and you don't feel as if everything is going perfectly, you can talk to

your midwife because they heard everything before. Or go to the BBC

action line website because what you are feeling might need dealing with.

OK, thank you. Five years ago tomorrow,

was the opening ceremony Before that, torch bearers

carried the Olympic Torch through the streets each

with their own unique story. John Lake from King's Cross was no

exception, and he tells us In 2012, I was nominated to carry

the torch with the Olympic flame. And, following the surgery

from that, I got very severe depression and I got suicidal,

and I got sectioned in 2006. As I was waiting for the torch,

what went through my mind One thing I found that really

made me feel better was exercise. Running and getting the endorphins

flowing through the system would lift my mood so I did

the London Marathon in 2007, for the brain research trust,

and then, the year after that, I went to see Usain Bolt

do a 200 metre heat, So I'd been watching

all the field events, You know, the high jump and the long

jump, and all that sort of stuff. And, then, when Usain Bolt came in,

the whole stadium stood up. The buzz was absolutely incredible

and he won, of course. But it was mad to be seeing that

and to be a part of that. I think it's good for him

to get back on the track. Looking on five years back,

I feel like I've made I'm now a qualified

mental health counsellor. My commitment to exercise is still

there because I still like to get out and run because it makes me feel

mentally better, Real journey, to look back and see

how far I've come since 2012, yeah. When play gets under way tomorrow

between England and South Africa, the Oval Cricket Ground

in South London will have scored It'll become only the fourth venue

in the world to have Chris Slegg has been

looking back at some From all over London,

people are trying to squeeze in here to see the climax

of this prodigious innings. The crowds have been

watching test match cricket Tomorrow, they'll do

so for the 100th time as England take on South Africa beneath

the famous gas holders. The weather will determine how much

play we actually get to see as the Oval joins a short

and illustrious list of centurions. They are the only venues to have

already reached that landmark. It was at the Oval in 1882 that

English cricket was said to have In 1938, it was the scene

of Len Hutton's knock of 364 More recently came the Ashes

clinching moments of 2005 and 2009. As test match venues go,

the Oval somehow breaks the mould. I don't think the atmosphere has

changed, even if you look back through old additions of Wisden,

you can see articles written by players, talking about injuring

the boisterous crowds at the Oval. And their's something very,

very South London about this place. When you come to the Oval,

you come as you are, It's very relaxed,

and everyone has a good time. A man who's sampled many of those

good times is former Surrey What does this occasion mean to join

Lords and Melbourne and Sydney on this list of venues to have

hosted 100 test matches? It's massive, it really is and I'm

really pleased that Surrey have made a big thing about it because it's

something they should be really proud of and should literally be

shouting from the rooftops. So I just hope that the game,

the quality of the game, matches what the occasion is,

which is 100 test matches May it be there for many test

matches! Let's find out the weather for that test match.

It looks like they will be fighting the weather tomorrow, a bit like

today where we had a bit of a mix, some rain, grey conditions but

brighter skies to finish the day. It sums up the rest of the week and

into the weekend with a mixture of sunshine and showers. Still a few

spots of rain tonight, then overnight partly clear skies.

Outside the M25, getting down to 9-10, though most sitting in the

teams Thursday morning. Tomorrow morning, the best part of the day.

There will be some cloud here and there which will build up even

further through the morning, by lunchtime there will be showers

pushing across and some of those could be heavy and sundry but enough

of a breeze to push on. A little bit more pleasant with the sunshine and

those showers could be on the heavy side as we hit the rush-hour but

they will depart. Through Thursday and into Friday, it should become

dry with temperatures summer to tonight. Friday, best part of the

day in the morning but after a sunny start, cloud increases, outbreaks of

rain. You are more likely to get wet on this day. Some of this rain will

be on the heavy side. It might feel a little bit cooler than it does

tomorrow. The rain will last into the first part of Friday night,

works its way off near the continent so after a grey start on Saturday,

brightening up quickly with some isolated showers. It will be dry

with some sunshine for most of the afternoon. On Sunday, it depends how

close this weather front is to us. If it is just over the English

Channel, it will do us a favour. It will suppress the showers. We will

keep you updated. But as conditions through Friday afternoon and into

Friday night but as for tomorrow, grab your umbrella and tried to

dodge the showers if you can. OK, thanks very much for that.

That's it, join me again at 10:30pm, with our top story about one of the

terrorist attack is making violent threats months before he carried out

the deadly attack in Borough market. Have a good evening. Goodbye.
