:00:11. > :00:14.I'm Alice Bhandhukravi for the news where you are.
:00:15. > :00:17.As we've been hearing, Notting Hill Carnival
:00:18. > :00:20.is drawing to a close shortly and, overall, it's been a successful
:00:21. > :00:23.event, despite heightened concerns over security.
:00:24. > :00:28.Latest police figures suggest arrests are down on last year.
:00:29. > :00:30.And, for the second day running, respects were paid
:00:31. > :00:33.to the victims of Grenfell Tower, as Dan Freedman reports.
:00:34. > :00:42.It is carnival day two, and we are stowaways on board one
:00:43. > :00:54.We are on board Smoky Joe's Roadshow float.
:00:55. > :00:56.The noise is deafening, the bass is shaking my chest.
:00:57. > :01:02.But on the ground amongst the sequins is a security
:01:03. > :01:04.challenge heightened by
:01:05. > :01:06.an unprecedented year of terror in London.
:01:07. > :01:15.Things are developing, and so are our responses
:01:16. > :01:18.to the nature and extent of any possible threat.
:01:19. > :01:20.Clearly, we are using technology to support us
:01:21. > :01:26.And so we will use anything that is lawful
:01:27. > :01:30.and proportionate to help us keep communities safe.
:01:31. > :01:34.So far, arrests are down compared to last year.
:01:35. > :01:40.Anything could happen to anyone, anywhere.
:01:41. > :01:43.That is what terrorists want to do, be inside and make you afraid,
:01:44. > :01:51.We have our roots in the West Indies,
:01:52. > :01:56.whatever, but we see it as we are all one.
:01:57. > :02:01.Once again, today, at 3pm, the sound systems
:02:02. > :02:07.were silenced as a mark of respect for the victims of Grenfell.
:02:08. > :02:11.If you judge a community on how it responds in the
:02:12. > :02:14.face of terror and tragedy, then this community is passing that test
:02:15. > :02:27.Believe it or not, this is what Carnival looks like when it is
:02:28. > :02:31.coming to an end, quite a name down. There are literally thousands of
:02:32. > :02:37.people on the streets. We have had more than 1 million people here
:02:38. > :02:42.across the weekend. It is not even the world's biggest, that accolade
:02:43. > :02:47.goes to Rio. I have to say the weather here today, it has been
:02:48. > :02:50.warmer than Brazil. That is why the London Ambulance Service has been
:02:51. > :02:58.telling everyone to keep drinking as much water as possible. We have seen
:02:59. > :03:02.some incidences of people being carried to the ambulance and
:03:03. > :03:06.emergency service tents, clearly needing attention.
:03:07. > :03:11.Amidst the colour and costumes, the most poignant moment and memorable
:03:12. > :03:16.moment so far of Carnival 2017, when the sound systems quietened for a
:03:17. > :03:25.minute on both days at 3pm, and people turned their mind to the
:03:26. > :03:27.victims of them fell tower just half a mile from here.
:03:28. > :03:30.A teenage boy has died at the Reading Music Festival.
:03:31. > :03:32.Paramedics were called to a tent in one of the campsites,
:03:33. > :03:34.but the 17 year-old was already dead.
:03:35. > :03:39.Police say his death is being treated as "unexplained".
:03:40. > :03:41.Next, it's a martial art you may not have heard of.
:03:42. > :03:43.Gatka is combat training followed by Sikhs.
:03:44. > :03:45.Although traditionally fought with a sword, nowadays,
:03:46. > :03:50.competitions are less danberous, using wooden sticks to spar.
:03:51. > :03:52.Today, the national championships were held in Chigwell.
:03:53. > :04:02.In the red corner, and the blue, this is the Gatka UK Championship,
:04:03. > :04:11.Yes, gatka was introduced to the Sikh fold by the sixth
:04:12. > :04:14.This also meant not just physically or aggressively,
:04:15. > :04:16.but humbleness without service to mankind, without meditation,
:04:17. > :04:17.without forgiveness, without compassion, you can't
:04:18. > :04:26.The aim is to land the most hits on your opponent, and defend
:04:27. > :04:33.Hundreds of years old, it came to the UK 25 years ago.
:04:34. > :04:36.Now, there are thousands of practitioners, or gatka badge,
:04:37. > :04:42.It has taught us a lot of discipline, commitment.
:04:43. > :04:45.We made lots of friends while being here.
:04:46. > :04:51.It helps them stay connected to their roots.
:04:52. > :04:53.And the values that their parents would have taught us.
:04:54. > :05:04.Before I would look down on the floor.
:05:05. > :05:08.Now I can look them in the eye and have a proper conversation.
:05:09. > :05:11.It is watched over by the new MP for Slough, also president
:05:12. > :05:17.In other parts of the world, people looked to London for leadership.
:05:18. > :05:25.That is why we are holding this for the second year out
:05:26. > :05:27.of five, we have held the championship in London.
:05:28. > :05:30.I am hoping this annual event will go from strength to strength.
:05:31. > :05:32.And maybe the gatka champion of tomorrow
:05:33. > :05:48.We have been lucky with the glorious weather.
:05:49. > :05:52.I had given up in August, but a beautiful day.
:05:53. > :05:56.Now, a lovely evening as well with warm sunshine.
:05:57. > :06:00.Through the night, we will see some cloud in Kent and Sussex and Thames
:06:01. > :06:05.Estuary. Even one or two showers in the early
:06:06. > :06:09.hours, very warm, 17. More cloud to start, mist patches
:06:10. > :06:13.first thing. The afternoon brings more warm
:06:14. > :06:18.sunshine but not as hot as today. The mid-20s. Not so on Wednesday. A
:06:19. > :06:21.good deal fresher, rain moving up into the afternoon.
:06:22. > :06:24.We're back later in the Ten O'Clock News.
:06:25. > :06:46.The weather today has been pretty warm. Temperatures have got up to 28
:06:47. > :06:57.Celsius. It is the warmest late August bank
:06:58. > :07:01.holiday on record. We are just checking that. It was funny across a
:07:02. > :07:06.lot of the country but not everywhere. These are the
:07:07. > :07:11.temperatures at eight o'clock. Still 25 degrees in London. That shows how
:07:12. > :07:17.warm the areas across the UK. It will stay warm across England and
:07:18. > :07:22.Wales. To the north of this weather front which will bring some spots of
:07:23. > :07:28.rain to Yorkshire and Wales, it is a lot fresher with the air coming of
:07:29. > :07:29.the ocean. Tomorrow, a lot more cloud around
