:00:08. > :00:14.out to be anything but. Such a dark time. It was not what it
:00:15. > :00:21.seemed. It has been very difficult. It's all because of this man -
:00:22. > :00:24.who sold them luxury houseboats that turned out
:00:25. > :00:25.to be worthless. Now a court says he has

:01:03. > :01:04.Good evening and welcome to the programme.
:01:05. > :01:08.First tonight - the million pound designer
:01:09. > :01:11.houseboats that were unlawful to live on.
:01:12. > :01:14.Families invested in the luxury river homes houseboats
:01:15. > :01:17.on the Thames in Hampton - only to find out after they bought
:01:18. > :01:20.them that they were worthless - as they didn't have planning
:01:21. > :01:25.Today after a lengthy civil case - the High Court ruled
:01:26. > :01:28.that the developer had misrepresented the rights to live
:01:29. > :01:31.on board, and that the families must be paid back.
:01:32. > :01:40.Gareth Furby has this exclusive report.
:01:41. > :01:46.This is how it was sold, a luxury lifestyle on board designer house
:01:47. > :01:50.boats on the Thames River near Hampton Court. But it was all a
:01:51. > :01:55.fantasy. Because there was no planning permission for anyone to
:01:56. > :01:58.live here permanently. Now, following a civil court case, the
:01:59. > :02:05.developer behind this fantasy can be exposed. Even though as he has made
:02:06. > :02:10.perfectly clear, he does not like our cameras. This is make, a
:02:11. > :02:15.developer who promised to make dreams come true but left his
:02:16. > :02:20.customers with only nightmares. It was such a dark time. It was not
:02:21. > :02:25.what it seemed. It has been very difficult. Let's start with Jennifer
:02:26. > :02:29.and her family who saw their five bedroomed home to buy a house but at
:02:30. > :02:35.Hampton Riviera cause they thought it would mean a better life. We
:02:36. > :02:39.really excited to be involved in the development of a new Riverside
:02:40. > :02:47.Marina and unity. This divisions details described a stunning home.
:02:48. > :02:52.For 1.2 men and hands. 125 year mirroring lies included. It was
:02:53. > :02:56.built by their specific issues. It doesn't look like a health board at
:02:57. > :02:59.all. After they moved in, they discovered there was no planning
:03:00. > :03:02.permission for residential development at all. If they stayed
:03:03. > :03:08.on, they would be living there unlawfully. We sank into a pit of
:03:09. > :03:12.despair. When we first met the family, they had had to move into a
:03:13. > :03:16.rented home but right next door to the boat yard so they could keep an
:03:17. > :03:21.eye on their expensive investment. It is just over there. The closest I
:03:22. > :03:25.could get it was the peak of the gates. That is our house that we
:03:26. > :03:31.built but we cannot live in. There was also a view from a nearby
:03:32. > :03:34.bridge. Standing here looking at it, I feel absolutely heartbroken. It
:03:35. > :03:40.was sold in mirroring license that does not exist. These people have
:03:41. > :03:43.had their lives destroyed by this man. When these properties were
:03:44. > :03:48.sold, people were not aware of the fact that they had no equal rights
:03:49. > :03:51.to live within them. There was no legal residential planning
:03:52. > :03:55.permission granted. It is the torment that goes with it, this man
:03:56. > :03:59.is so controlling. Vivian and her husband want get any money back
:04:00. > :04:06.because they were not involved in the civil case but they also bought
:04:07. > :04:10.a house but, spending ?850,000. Again, a few months after moving in,
:04:11. > :04:15.found out it had no residential mooring rights. They have now had to
:04:16. > :04:21.make it nine miles upriver to find land where they can more and that
:04:22. > :04:26.has cost them a further ?360,000. It is really only when we got away from
:04:27. > :04:32.it, from that poisonous atmosphere, but you realise what a scam it
:04:33. > :04:35.actually was. They are now having to rebuild their home because it had to
:04:36. > :04:41.be taken apart for the move. Another big expense. We had to cut the roof
:04:42. > :04:46.off to get it under the bridge. Never ever want it to happen to us
:04:47. > :04:52.or anybody else. It has ruined our lives. This mould have now moved
:04:53. > :04:57.their boat away from Hampton Riviera but it is not a solution. This is
:04:58. > :05:01.it, we cannot live on it here because there is no residential
:05:02. > :05:05.permission. Their house but is so large, it plays tomorrow weather can
:05:06. > :05:11.live on board the cost them at least ?500,000. That is if they can find
:05:12. > :05:16.one. The future is so uncertain because we just don't know whether
:05:17. > :05:22.we will be able to live in our home again. ?150,000. Everything we had.
:05:23. > :05:30.Fiona and her family also bought into this nightmare. The boat they
:05:31. > :05:37.spend more than half ?1 million on is still at Hampton Riviera. The
:05:38. > :05:42.only lived on board for a few weeks. After 5.5 weeks, we met with a
:05:43. > :05:47.member of the Richmond Council who told us there is no mirroring
:05:48. > :05:51.rights. Absolutely traumatic, it has affected our help. I just want him
:05:52. > :05:54.out of our life. I want to wake up and not have to think about and over
:05:55. > :06:01.again. Would you like to apologise to anyone? Throughout this case in
:06:02. > :06:05.the High Court, the developer seen here in an orange jumper, maintained
:06:06. > :06:10.he had done nothing wrong and claimed there were historic rights
:06:11. > :06:14.to live at the marina. The judge dismissed that claim. Now he will
:06:15. > :06:18.have to repay approaching ?2 million.
:06:19. > :06:20.And Gareth this is a case you've been
:06:21. > :06:30.Yes and it really has been a very difficult two years for the people
:06:31. > :06:34.fighting this battle and if you look behind me tonight and this boat
:06:35. > :06:39.yard, you can perhaps see how they were taken in by this dream. It
:06:40. > :06:43.really is a beautiful part of London, very peaceful. It could have
:06:44. > :06:48.been very special, but it didn't work out like that. Perhaps a lesson
:06:49. > :06:51.to take away from this is just as you do careful checks when you buy a
:06:52. > :06:57.house on land, you may have to do even more careful checks when you
:06:58. > :07:00.buy one on what. Do not just take the words of the person you are
:07:01. > :07:05.buying from. What the families are hoping is that this money almost ?2
:07:06. > :07:09.million, will now be repaid without any further records to the courts.
:07:10. > :07:13.We will find out if that happens in the next few months but for now,
:07:14. > :07:17.from this tainted Thames riverside view, back to you.

:07:31. > :07:41.Now, as families prepare to go back to school
:07:42. > :07:43.after the holidays, there are warnings that the capital
:07:44. > :07:47.faces a shortfall of thousands of secondary school places -
:07:48. > :07:51.Councils say new powers are needed to make sure free schools
:07:52. > :07:54.and academies expand to meet the demand.
:07:55. > :08:01.Our Political Editor Tim Donovan has more.
:08:02. > :08:08.Which street you live in matters when it comes to secondary schools
:08:09. > :08:14.and this family know first-hand the anxieties. There's a big shortage of
:08:15. > :08:18.places in America, Ealing. While James should get into his sisters
:08:19. > :08:21.school as a sibling, many of his friends want and some are already
:08:22. > :08:25.moving away. The mother feels the community is being broken up. We are
:08:26. > :08:29.in this they will drink free school system where we just have to wait
:08:30. > :08:33.for somebody to come forward and say they want to build a school. It may
:08:34. > :08:40.not be in the area where the need is the greatest and it just feels to me
:08:41. > :08:43.a bit as though the government are abdicating responsibility at a time
:08:44. > :08:47.when we have this burgeoning population and we really need these
:08:48. > :08:50.extra school places. This is the latest warning to emerge about a
:08:51. > :08:55.looming lack of secondary school places in the capital. It is based
:08:56. > :08:58.on research by the Local Government Association and the prediction is
:08:59. > :09:04.that by 2022, there will be a big shortfall in places in London. 30
:09:05. > :09:10.for a thousand more places are needed and 20 out of London's 33
:09:11. > :09:13.bearers are predicting a shortfall. Councils want to be able to force
:09:14. > :09:19.free schools and academies to expand. Often these deals are done
:09:20. > :09:22.to increase the size of schools amicably but when push comes to
:09:23. > :09:28.shove and the school refuses to do that, with a councilman teamed
:09:29. > :09:31.school, we can force them but with an academy, we cannot and that is
:09:32. > :09:34.leading to problems across London where we are worried that not every
:09:35. > :09:39.child will have a school place when they needed. It is argued the more
:09:40. > :09:41.academies are in error, the less control the council has yet it
:09:42. > :09:46.remains all Ceredigion County Council statuary duty to find places
:09:47. > :09:51.for children. The Department for Education says these figures are
:09:52. > :09:55.misleading and point out that nearly ?6 billion across the country has
:09:56. > :10:00.been made available for councils until 2020 to cater for the
:10:01. > :10:04.projected increase in need was for places and it points out that that
:10:05. > :10:10.money has been based on councils own assessment of what they need. In
:10:11. > :10:13.Ealing like other parts of London, many primary schools are expanding
:10:14. > :10:16.in recent years to cook with the rising population. But it seems
:10:17. > :10:19.secondary provision has not kept pace.

:10:57. > :11:23.Many people will remember after, it was widely reported that residents
:11:24. > :11:27.had repeatedly raised their concerns about fire safety issues and they
:11:28. > :11:31.were ignored. With this, the mayor is saying the government needs to do
:11:32. > :11:35.more to respond to concerns about social housing. He is saying if
:11:36. > :11:41.there was a commissioner in place, they could give tenants a voice on a
:11:42. > :11:45.national stage. He once this commission to the Independent. He
:11:46. > :11:48.wants them to have legal powers so social tenants and leaseholders can
:11:49. > :11:53.put a stop to something of this happening again in the future.
:11:54. > :11:55.Social housing is not part of the forthcoming public inquiry
:11:56. > :12:02.committed? Now and that was very controversial. Residents felt it was
:12:03. > :12:05.integral to what had gone wrong. The Prime Minister has said the
:12:06. > :12:08.government 's housing minister would instead carry out a separate review
:12:09. > :12:13.of the issue but it appears in making this call, Mr Khan is not
:12:14. > :12:17.satisfied that this will go far enough. Still waiting to hear from
:12:18. > :12:47.the government about their response to his letter.
:12:48. > :12:52.First shame, then the jail and finally vindication. Over three men
:12:53. > :12:58.wrongly jailed for a train robbery and why has it taken one of them
:12:59. > :13:02.this man 40 years to clear his name. The whole thing is a complete
:13:03. > :13:04.fabrication. In his home, Stephen still has the original police
:13:05. > :13:06.witness statements from his trial back in
:13:07. > :13:20.1976. He was in the wrong place at the
:13:21. > :13:27.wrong time and rounded up by the arresting officer. He himself was to
:13:28. > :13:32.later die in prison. He grabbed my head and push my head onto the roof
:13:33. > :13:40.of the car and said, you are under arrest for the theft of Royal Mail
:13:41. > :13:47.bags. We were now a -- nowhere near a station. It was when he recently
:13:48. > :13:53.searched his name on the Internet, he found out the officer himself had
:13:54. > :13:56.been jailed shortly after her mailbag set. Now he is appealing his
:13:57. > :14:02.conviction to be quashed and is for the first time in 40 years speaking
:14:03. > :14:07.about his ordeal. My kids, 37 and 35, I told them to days ago for the
:14:08. > :14:10.first time and they were upset that I have never told them and they
:14:11. > :14:16.said, whatever age you think we wouldn't believe you? I just have
:14:17. > :14:21.this feeling, are you sitting there thinking, there is more to this? But
:14:22. > :14:24.there is not. There's nothing to it. He also discovered that Ridgewell
:14:25. > :14:28.had falsely arrested a succession of young black men at the time for a
:14:29. > :14:33.string of robberies on the Underground. One of the cases became
:14:34. > :14:39.notorious known as the Oval four. Winston was one of them and in the
:14:40. > :14:43.end, served eight months in prison. There were about 89 officers in a
:14:44. > :14:53.room with Ridgewell and his team there. They sat there, intimidating
:14:54. > :14:58.you, intimidating you. He slapped me on the face, some of them punched me
:14:59. > :15:03.in the back. Punching me again and again. All to get a false
:15:04. > :15:07.confession? For me to confess that I did it. But the Winston and Stevens
:15:08. > :15:11.cases relied entirely on police statements with no eyewitnesses even
:15:12. > :15:16.victims accounts to cooperate. One reason among so many why they are
:15:17. > :15:22.both hopeful that it convictions will in time be quashed.
:15:23. > :15:29.You're watching BBC London News, coming up later.
:15:30. > :15:43.I am fearless and full of beans. But of tri- weather for the store the

:15:46. > :15:55.programme. Turning now
:15:56. > :15:57.to the final report in our series Smartphones diagnosing symptoms
:15:58. > :16:01.and artificial intelligence But the technology depends on how
:16:02. > :16:05.far we're willing to share our data. Nicola Ford looks at how our health

:16:22. > :16:25.this soon be a thing of the past? At Great Run, nurses are using mobile
:16:26. > :16:30.devices to keep an eye on their patients. We have a list of where
:16:31. > :16:33.the sickest patients are so any patient will automatically default
:16:34. > :16:37.onto a list so when we come on the shift, we can look at those sicker
:16:38. > :16:43.patients and parrot house where we need to first and parrot has their
:16:44. > :16:47.care. But technology is now changing the way we are getting diagnosed
:16:48. > :16:53.even before we get to hospital. My tummy is killing me. I am sorry you
:16:54. > :16:58.are feeling unwell. Some of the things are common. This company uses
:16:59. > :17:04.artificial intelligence to provide chat box who diagnosed your
:17:05. > :17:08.symptoms. Remember what happens when you go to see a doctor, you just
:17:09. > :17:12.pass on to them information about your health and symptoms. When you
:17:13. > :17:16.talk to a machine, you do exactly the same, the difference is that the
:17:17. > :17:19.machine can look at hundreds of millions of variations of knowledge
:17:20. > :17:23.as opposed to millions that can fit inside the human brain and in
:17:24. > :17:28.return, it can do billions of variations of symptoms in seconds in
:17:29. > :17:34.a way that a human brain cannot do. Thanks to technology, we are able to
:17:35. > :17:40.monitor our help I can ever before. How we eat and exercise, and the NHS
:17:41. > :17:45.is working with a number of apps to help us do this. This one allows you
:17:46. > :17:47.to manage own health records. You can upload them from your doctor and
:17:48. > :17:50.add information like your height and weight but it also gives you the
:17:51. > :17:54.option to share with anyone you choose. It's at this point you can
:17:55. > :18:00.decide whether you're happy to share your data for the purpose of
:18:01. > :18:03.research. People want to potentially have their own access to their
:18:04. > :18:05.medical records and there's great advantages to that because the
:18:06. > :18:10.medical records follow you in the various health care and actions that
:18:11. > :18:14.you may have. There will be wearing is about who has access to the
:18:15. > :18:19.medical records and what those medical records contain, whether it
:18:20. > :18:29.is around insurance or just Gravity issues. So, our security might be a
:18:30. > :18:56.concern, technology could help reduce pressure on the NHS.
:18:57. > :19:06.This should be quite a spectacle? It should. All quiet here now but as
:19:07. > :19:10.you say, football stars like Alan Shearer and David Seaman, stars from
:19:11. > :19:13.the world of music and television, too, will be putting a method but
:19:14. > :19:17.tomorrow to play in the game to raise money for victims of the
:19:18. > :19:24.disaster. Thousands have bought tickets but over 2000 have been
:19:25. > :19:27.provided free to local families, and bits of the emergency services and
:19:28. > :19:31.volunteers, to thank them for their help. But I have been finding out,
:19:32. > :19:35.is that the only thing that West London's football clubs have been
:19:36. > :19:41.doing to help local community. The sports centre sits in the shadow
:19:42. > :19:46.of the tower. Tyler lost his grandfather in the fire. This by
:19:47. > :19:54.also knew people who lost their lives. Both have been taking part in

:19:59. > :20:02.using coaches from Queens Park Rangers as well as Chelsea, Fulham
:20:03. > :20:10.and Brentford. We work from ten until for Mac. I want to feel how it
:20:11. > :20:22.is in the committee and have good support and now the people are there
:20:23. > :20:26.for me. Some of them saw it. We have young people here who unfortunately
:20:27. > :20:30.no people who died in the fire. Some were in the blog of the actual fire
:20:31. > :20:33.so we are giving them an opportunity to get away from being in the hotel
:20:34. > :20:37.room, from spending the summer holidays thinking about things that
:20:38. > :20:42.will be distressing and cannot and enjoy themselves. It is a committee
:20:43. > :20:45.that means so much to so many, including DPR's director of football
:20:46. > :20:52.who grew up on the estate tax to the tower. Under the tower is where the
:20:53. > :20:56.community centre was. I learned to play football with my mates there.
:20:57. > :21:01.This is my area and it is whatever we can do to help these kids is what
:21:02. > :21:04.we want to do. The plan was to put on the programme for six weeks but
:21:05. > :21:08.that will now be extended and it is hoped it will be here for another
:21:09. > :21:16.three years. It will help give these children and many more help to heal
:21:17. > :21:21.through football. Queens Park Rangers have stressed
:21:22. > :21:25.that the programme, the match tomorrow is not about them. They say
:21:26. > :21:29.they know great things have been done to raise money for the victims
:21:30. > :21:32.of the disaster that they want to do something to because they are a

:25:07. > :25:10.they may well just push further eastwards through the course of the

:25:33. > :25:35.building and it could bring the odd scattered showers through the course
:25:36. > :25:40.of the afternoon but they are not likely to be as heavy as the last
:25:41. > :25:43.few days. With the light winds and temperatures up to 21 degrees, it

:26:22. > :26:27.Sunday night and into Monday. Then it eases away, so a slowly improving
