0:00:00 > 0:00:05That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Tonight on BBC London News. so it's goodbye from me
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Facing jail, the ex-boyfriend of a reality TV star found guilty
0:00:09 > 0:00:12of carrying out an acid attack in a packed nightclub
0:00:12 > 0:00:17leaving 14 people injured.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I'm angry about it, and I think it has affected me.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23I wouldn't go into a club like that again, I don't
0:00:23 > 0:00:24like being in busy places.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Now calls from some of the victims for tougher sentences.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Also tonight.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Fighting plans post-Grenfell to fit their flats with sprinklers.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36The leaseholders who claim it's a complete waste of money.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Plus, life after Brexit.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40The EU nationals living in London travelling to Brussels
0:00:40 > 0:00:48looking for answers.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52And the young refugees making a new life for themselves in the capital
0:00:52 > 0:01:00with the help of money raised by children in need.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Good evening and welcome to the programme.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03I'm Chris Rogers.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06A man has been found guilty of carrying out an acid attack
0:01:06 > 0:01:12in a packed club in Dalston, East London - injuring 14 people.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Arthur Collins, the ex-boyfriend of reality TV star Ferne McCann,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19admitted throwing the bottle of fluid over clubbers,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22but said he thought it was a date rape drug,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24which he had snatched from two men after overhearing them planning
0:01:24 > 0:01:26to spike a girl's drink.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30A man accused of helping him was today cleared.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And a warning, some of you may find details in Alpa Patel's
0:01:33 > 0:01:37report distressing.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41This is Arthur Collins. He is the ex-boyfriend top reality TV star
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Ferne McCann. He said he had gone out clubbing last April to celebrate
0:01:46 > 0:01:54her pregnancy. This is Mr Collins seen outside the Mangle nightclub in
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Dalston. Eyewitnesses say the club was packed. The short time later
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Arthur Collins through the liquid. People clutch their face and run off
0:02:03 > 0:02:08the dance floor. These are some of the injuries. 22 people were hurt.
0:02:08 > 0:02:1416 of them suffered serious burns, including Lauren Trent, who was
0:02:14 > 0:02:19celebrating her birthday.I remember hearing this sound, you know when
0:02:19 > 0:02:23you open a Coke bottle. That hissing sound. I remember steam coming off
0:02:23 > 0:02:27the floor and my friend grabbing me. I remember looking up as quickly as
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I could because the sound shocked me. It was like someone had let off
0:02:31 > 0:02:39a gas bomb. It had blistered straightaway. This happened in the
0:02:39 > 0:02:44space of 40 seconds.The injuries caused by the acid have had lifelong
0:02:44 > 0:02:49effects on some of the victims. CB's injuries were so bad she didn't want
0:02:49 > 0:02:54to appear on camera.Every time they had to change the bandages, they had
0:02:54 > 0:02:58to scrape off the skin that had been damaged. It was so painful. Every
0:02:58 > 0:03:03time that happened I had to be an morphine for the pain. It was the
0:03:03 > 0:03:09hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. When I had to get my bandages
0:03:09 > 0:03:12changed all the time, I thought I didn't even want to live, I couldn't
0:03:12 > 0:03:17deal with it.Victims say they live with the actions of Arthur Collins
0:03:17 > 0:03:23everyday.Mentally I've been suffering from sleep paralysis
0:03:23 > 0:03:27constantly, anxiety, panic attacks. I can't going to busy spaces. It's
0:03:27 > 0:03:32put a stop on my life the seven months.There aren't words to
0:03:32 > 0:03:36describe him. I wouldn't describe him as normal. No normal human being
0:03:36 > 0:03:39does something like that.Arthur Collins will be sentenced in
0:03:39 > 0:03:42December.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well, Ian Palmer is at Wood Green Court,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46where Arthur Collins was convicted.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48And, Ian, calls tonight from some of those who were injured
0:03:48 > 0:03:55in the attack for tougher sentences.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00That's right. The BBC has spoken to a number of the victims, many of
0:04:00 > 0:04:04whom have life changing injuries. One of them said she would like to
0:04:04 > 0:04:11see a mandatory life sentence that anyone convicted of an acid attack.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Certainly it is a problem here in London. You may remember last July
0:04:16 > 0:04:19five people were injured in an acid attack in a space of an hour. There
0:04:19 > 0:04:25have been 415 acid attacks in the borough of new alone since 2010 and
0:04:25 > 0:04:30in the past seven years there have been 1800 acid attacks in London --
0:04:30 > 0:04:35in the borough of Newham alone. The Home Office is going to be
0:04:35 > 0:04:41publishing a series of guidelines and the judge in the Arthur Collins
0:04:41 > 0:04:46cases taking it very seriously indeed. He told the 25-year-old he
0:04:46 > 0:04:50can expect a substantial jail term as a result of his crimes.Thank
0:04:50 > 0:04:57you.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Following Grenfell came calls for greater safety and high-rise
0:05:00 > 0:05:05buildings. The questions as to who would pay for the work now exist.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Last week Labour called on the government to fund the fitting of
0:05:08 > 0:05:12sprinklers in all high-rise social housing. There is anger amongst
0:05:12 > 0:05:16leaseholders in bonds with that they could be facing a bill for thousands
0:05:16 > 0:05:20of the work to be carried out. Work which they claim is completely
0:05:20 > 0:05:23unnecessary.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Joe has lived in his flat on the Alton Estate in Roehampton
0:05:26 > 0:05:27for nearly 30 years.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30He's been told he'll have to pay out up to £4000 to cover the cost
0:05:30 > 0:05:33of fitting sprinklers to his tower block, to make it safer
0:05:33 > 0:05:34following the Grenfell tragedy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I don't think there's enough evidence to justify it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40They don't share some of the features of Grenfell,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42such as the external cladding.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45These are all solid concrete on the outside.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It needs further consideration.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Wandsworth Council wants to fit sprinklers in all its blocks
0:05:50 > 0:05:52of at least ten stories.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Residents who rent from the council won't be liable to pay,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58but those who own their own homes will have too.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00It's around 2000 leaseholders.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Do you think it's a good idea, is it needed?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I don't feel these buildings do, mainly because they're all concrete,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08they don't have any cladding.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11The internal system, which is where they're
0:06:11 > 0:06:13going to put the sprinklers, is also concrete.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I think it's brilliant, because especially after
0:06:15 > 0:06:18what happened with Grenfell, I think it's good that they put
0:06:18 > 0:06:22all this health and safety stuff in the blocks.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The questions some people here are asking is "why now?"
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Previous fire risk assessments haven't recommended the installation
0:06:27 > 0:06:30of sprinklers, and some residents wonder whether the money
0:06:30 > 0:06:36might be better spent.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37The Grenfell Inquiry is likely to give clearer
0:06:37 > 0:06:41instructions to councils about fire safety improvements.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Wandsworth Council says although there is no specific risk
0:06:43 > 0:06:46to any of its high-rise properties currently, it has a duty to provide
0:06:46 > 0:06:53peace of mind for residents, and some will have to pay.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55We have taken legal advice, which confirms leaseholders
0:06:55 > 0:06:58have a duty to pay towards it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You think this will save lives then?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Of course.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03There's absolutely every evidence to say that houses with sprinklers
0:07:03 > 0:07:08do not result in fatalities.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Other councils, including Croydon, are already retrofitting
0:07:10 > 0:07:13homes with sprinklers.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Experts say it's only part of the solution.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19The fitting of sprinklers is always a good thing.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22They are a very effective means of suppressing fire and increasing
0:07:22 > 0:07:24someone's chance of escaping.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26But the idea of retrofitting to the entire stock of tall
0:07:26 > 0:07:30buildings in the country shouldn't be necessary at all.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33If the buildings are maintained there shouldn't be any need
0:07:33 > 0:07:36for supplementary systems.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Leaseholders will have up to four years to pay their share
0:07:39 > 0:07:41of the £30 million cost of fitting the sprinklers.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Wandsworth is still discussing with the government
0:07:43 > 0:07:45whether it will help pay.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Victoria Hollins, BBC London News.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Boris Johnson has apologised and admitted for the first time
0:07:52 > 0:07:55that he made comments which threatened to extend
0:07:55 > 0:07:58the prison sentence for a woman from London who is jailed in Iran
0:07:58 > 0:08:00on "spying" charges.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02The Foreign Secretary had told MPs a fortnight ago that
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliff had been "training journalists"
0:08:05 > 0:08:08when she was arrested but her family insists she was simply
0:08:08 > 0:08:11on holiday visiting relatives.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Her husband is due to meet Mr Johnson and is appealing
0:08:13 > 0:08:17for the government to do more to get his wife home.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23Let's speak now to Richard Ratcliffe.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27A roller-coaster of a fortnight for you but it's been 20 months that
0:08:27 > 0:08:30you've been waiting for your daughter and your wife to walk
0:08:30 > 0:08:33through that front door of your home in West Hampstead. Can you give us
0:08:33 > 0:08:38an insight into what that 20 months has been like?It's been a long,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42long marathon of a process and we've been battling for a long time.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Obviously there was a Herriot when we didn't know what was happening,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50then the period when we started campaigning and she was taken to
0:08:50 > 0:08:53court and we discovered all she'd been through in terms of solitary
0:08:53 > 0:09:00confinement. As you say, this last couple of weeks have been a
0:09:00 > 0:09:03completely new level, we've been on all the news media following the
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Foreign Secretary's comments and the way they impacted on the court case.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I think today the Foreign Secretary made a clear statement in
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Parliament. He apologised for the impact on us and said he was
0:09:16 > 0:09:21considering taking me to a Rann and giving Nazanin diplomatic
0:09:21 > 0:09:29protection. -- taking me to Iran.In some ways you've got his personal
0:09:29 > 0:09:33attention. Do you really feel there is now a real chance to get your
0:09:33 > 0:09:40daughter, who you only speak to an Skype once a week, to get them home
0:09:40 > 0:09:45for Christmas?That's the hope. Nazanin is now a more important case
0:09:45 > 0:09:49in UK politics and lots of MPs have been saying all sorts of things
0:09:49 > 0:09:51about her. Of course there is no guarantee. She's facing another
0:09:51 > 0:09:58court case. Yes, my fervent hope is that she can be home for Christmas
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and the pair of them can be buying a Christmas tree and all the other
0:10:01 > 0:10:05things they look forward to.You've often said you just want to get back
0:10:05 > 0:10:10to the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. Are you just a
0:10:10 > 0:10:12typical London family that's got caught up in international
0:10:12 > 0:10:22diplomatic tensions?Yes, obviously on the telly more than most. Clearly
0:10:22 > 0:10:26to get back to the complaining about the tube and bustling to get stuff
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and rushing around getting to places, all the things we used to do
0:10:29 > 0:10:37before, would be good to get back to that.Are you coping and is name --
0:10:37 > 0:10:41and is Nazanin and your daughter coping?It's obviously a very tough
0:10:41 > 0:10:50time for Nazanin. She is being called a spy and all sorts of
0:10:50 > 0:10:53things. I spoke to her on Sunday and she said she felt she was on the
0:10:53 > 0:10:58verge of a nervous breakdown. In terms of me, in some ways it's been
0:10:58 > 0:11:02very tough couple of weeks. All sorts of things have happened. In
0:11:02 > 0:11:08some ways getting the spotlight and the concern of people in London and
0:11:08 > 0:11:12beyond has made such a difference and that can only help resolve it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17You've got Boris Johnson's attention and there are plans for diplomatic
0:11:17 > 0:11:21protection which could help get her back home. Of course we have an
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Iranian Embassy in London, they could be watching. What is your
0:11:24 > 0:11:29message and your wife's message to the Iranian authorities?The message
0:11:29 > 0:11:33is that this has gone on long enough and clearly Nazanin has suffered a
0:11:33 > 0:11:38lot. There are every grounds for her to be released. She served one
0:11:38 > 0:11:40sentence, shall be eligible for early release and a couple of weeks'
0:11:40 > 0:11:47time. Could they please push back forward.We wish you well.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Scotland Yard have launched a campaign urging Londoners
0:11:49 > 0:11:52to hand in firearms, to try and get them off the street.
0:11:52 > 0:11:5434 police stations across the capital are taking part
0:11:54 > 0:11:56in the campaign over the next two weeks.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Those handing in guns won't be prosecuted for illegal possession -
0:11:59 > 0:12:02but if the weapon is later linked to a crime, they could
0:12:02 > 0:12:08be questioned.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13We offer an amnesty at the point of surrender. The moment in time you
0:12:13 > 0:12:16give it to a police officer, then we will offer an amnesty at that moment
0:12:16 > 0:12:20in time. That does not mean we will not pay attention to what the weapon
0:12:20 > 0:12:25has done in the past. We will look to examine that forensically to see
0:12:25 > 0:12:32whether it's been involved in crime in a past.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Should schools train all their staff in mental health "first aid"?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38One of the largest academy chains in the country thinks so after it
0:12:38 > 0:12:41found a large number of pupils at a school were struggling
0:12:41 > 0:12:43with almost 90 saying they had deliberately harmed themselves.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Our education reporter Marc Ashdown reports from a school in Wembley
0:12:45 > 0:12:47where teachers are being trained to deal with pupils
0:12:47 > 0:12:52who are suffering feelings of depression and hopelessness.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55One teenager told us the bullying got so bad that she used to crawl
0:12:55 > 0:12:57into a corner and refused to go to school.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Her words are spoken by an actor.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I was lashing out at teachers, my mum and dad.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I then started self harming, every day.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I felt like no one was listening to me.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Then I tried to commit suicide.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I took an overdose.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14My mum found me unconscious on the floor.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19It is an extreme example but how widespread is this sort of thing?
0:13:19 > 0:13:25The Academy chain runs 25 schools, snap at one found, out of 900
0:13:25 > 0:13:30pupils, 100 said they regularly felt depressed, hopeless and teary.
0:13:30 > 0:13:3887 had self harmed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40We asked these pupils about the pressures
0:13:40 > 0:13:41facing young people.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44There can be like peer pressure and small things that
0:13:44 > 0:13:45can get to you easily.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Social media can really impact how people feel
0:13:47 > 0:13:52about their bodies or her face, weight, height except.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Symptoms in mental health people have low confidence and others start
0:13:55 > 0:13:56to have different body expressions, facial expressions.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So the first question, what is stress?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Give me some feedback.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Every staff member across all these schools is now being trained
0:14:06 > 0:14:07in mental health first aid.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09It goes much further than the government guidance
0:14:09 > 0:14:11which only expects one staff member per school to have
0:14:11 > 0:14:14mental health training.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Times are tough, money is tough, how can you justify it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:22It is a significant investment but we think it is our absolute
0:14:22 > 0:14:23priority, our children need that support and we
0:14:23 > 0:14:27want to give them everything we can so that their outcomes do improve,
0:14:27 > 0:14:28so they are ready for life beyond school.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32It is our priority and we can already see it is making a
0:14:32 > 0:14:33difference.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It really helped this young people to recover.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Back then I felt like I had nobody.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I couldn't reach out to anyone.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40But now it's like there's an open door.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It's given me much more confidence to
0:14:42 > 0:14:43make friends.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I don't feel like I'm alone.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Much of that was due to a member of staff helping her.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Feeling like you've got to be on top of it all.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It can actually feel like it's really piling on top of you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Across these schools they are already
0:14:56 > 0:14:58seeing results with teachers more confident in spotting the early
0:14:58 > 0:15:00warning signs of mental health issues.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They believe all schools should undertake similar training
0:15:02 > 0:15:12and hope happy pupils will result in them achieving more as well.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15A group of EU citizens living in London have met with negotiators
0:15:15 > 0:15:17at the European Commission in Brussels appealing to them to
0:15:17 > 0:15:18protect their rights after Brexit.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The government is offering migrants who've been living
0:15:20 > 0:15:25here for at least five years settled status after Brexit.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28They'd have to apply for it but it would essentially give them
0:15:28 > 0:15:30indefinite leave to remain and they'd be entitled to public
0:15:30 > 0:15:31services and benefits.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34They would also have the right to appeal to the UK courts
0:15:34 > 0:15:36if their application was rejected.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But campaigners say it leaves them without any protection if there's no
0:15:39 > 0:15:41deal on Brexit with the EU.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Our reporter Katharine Carpenter joined them on their
0:15:43 > 0:15:53mission to Brussels.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58A journey becoming all too familiar for members of the 3 million
0:15:58 > 0:16:03campaign group. Between them they have lived in London and nearly 60
0:16:03 > 0:16:07years. They don't want the settled state has the government is offering
0:16:07 > 0:16:12and presenting their alternative to the EU's negotiators today.We
0:16:12 > 0:16:19hoping this is a solution that can actually be accepted by both
0:16:19 > 0:16:24parties.Arriving in Brussels, there's a sense of urgency to
0:16:24 > 0:16:29changing the UK's position.It's a move away from rights that people
0:16:29 > 0:16:33have established, writes people have enjoyed for many years, and
0:16:33 > 0:16:36converting those into a form of immigration status. Academically
0:16:36 > 0:16:44that sounds abstract and odd but the consequences are seismic for people.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48They will go, in some instances, from living a normal life enjoying
0:16:48 > 0:16:54the rights they have, to being illegal in the UK.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Just last week the government tried to offer reassurance saying that
0:16:57 > 0:17:01applications would not be turned up on minor technicalities and there
0:17:01 > 0:17:05would be an appeals process and safeguarding citizens rights was the
0:17:05 > 0:17:08top priority but the negotiators will return here in the next few
0:17:08 > 0:17:12weeks and the fear among campaigners is that there is so much pressure to
0:17:12 > 0:17:17make progress that the details, the nitty-gritty about their future,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21will either be glossed over and dealt with at some point in the
0:17:21 > 0:17:30future or rushed through. Back-up has arrived from Germany, France and
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Spain. Londoners now living in mainland Europe were equally worried
0:17:34 > 0:17:38about their futures.My name is Jane Golding, I am no lawyer and I live
0:17:38 > 0:17:45in Germany but originally from Kingston -- I am a lawyer. My main
0:17:45 > 0:17:48concern is as a working person, giving my right of free movement to
0:17:48 > 0:17:52be able to work across the EU, I have worked in four different
0:17:52 > 0:17:57countries as a lawyer and I want to keep those rights.We have been here
0:17:57 > 0:18:00many times before but we are hoping they will listen to us now because
0:18:00 > 0:18:03it is crunch time in the negotiations and we need to be
0:18:03 > 0:18:12heard.Nice to see you again. Finally it is time for their
0:18:12 > 0:18:16meeting. It is with the deputy of Michel Barnier and we are allowed to
0:18:16 > 0:18:20film a brief hello but she does not do interviews. They have been inside
0:18:20 > 0:18:23for over an hour and had his uprising when you consider this is
0:18:23 > 0:18:29the list of things to discuss. They will be asking her to consider a
0:18:29 > 0:18:33special EU- UK treaty giving them all the same rights as they have now
0:18:33 > 0:18:37but accessed through a much simpler registration process. Meeting over,
0:18:37 > 0:18:43did she listen?It is good to keep going at it and I think we agree,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46they agree with us that we are not within touching distance of an
0:18:46 > 0:18:49agreement on the citizens rights. It's interesting because the
0:18:49 > 0:18:54government has said again today that they think they are in touching
0:18:54 > 0:18:58distance.That is not the view here and it is not our view either.Mixed
0:18:58 > 0:19:02messages then from the two sides but there is hope here that they have at
0:19:02 > 0:19:05least been listened to.
0:19:06 > 0:19:13Still to come...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Especially when they came home from school.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The family making a fortune by sharing their lives with millions
0:19:18 > 0:19:20of followers on YouTube.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Each year hundreds of child refugees arrive here in London,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33many traumatised and vulnerable.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Some are helped by the charity Young Roots, which offers vital
0:19:36 > 0:19:39support, as well as a chance to make friends with other young
0:19:39 > 0:19:41people who have gone through the same experience.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The work they do is supported by money you donate
0:19:43 > 0:19:44to Children In Need.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Here's Thomas Magill.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52A youth group with a difference.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57The youngsters here are all child refugees.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03I am Omar, from Syria, and my age is almost 18.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05When Omar fled Damascus a year ago, he couldn't
0:20:05 > 0:20:07speak any English.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And although his journey to London was fairly
0:20:10 > 0:20:13straightforward, unlike so many others, it came at a cost.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I feel sad because everything is changing
0:20:15 > 0:20:17in Syria.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20We lost everything, and I haven't seen my sister for almost
0:20:20 > 0:20:23one year.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27When I see my sister from the phone or the TV, it makes you
0:20:27 > 0:20:28really sad.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31You can't do anything for your sister.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Forced to flee Syria, Omar now attends Young Roots,
0:20:36 > 0:20:42a charity in London funded by Children in Need which offers
0:20:42 > 0:20:45help and support to child refugees just like him.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We help each other, we cook something with children, and
0:20:47 > 0:20:49we get our dinner here.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54You've seen today, we do some sport, like yoga.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56When young people first come, they are very often isolated.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58They don't speak English, and they are worried
0:20:58 > 0:21:01about their future.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06The money we get from Children in Need is absolutely
0:21:06 > 0:21:09vital and we wouldn't be able to do the work that we do without
0:21:09 > 0:21:12that money.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17There is no doubt the scheme has helped change Omar's life, but
0:21:17 > 0:21:21for others, there's still a long way to go, and it is hoped the charity's
0:21:21 > 0:21:25help and the friendships forged here will go some way to helping
0:21:25 > 0:21:28these young people forget the trauma and devastation they were forced to
0:21:28 > 0:21:29flee.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Thomas Magill, BBC London News.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So, that is just one example of where your
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Children In Need money goes.
0:21:41 > 0:21:48Remember, you can join us on the big night this Friday November 17th.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Pudsey will be there too of course at Warner Brothers Studio tours
0:21:51 > 0:21:52in Hertfordshire along with some very special guests.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56To be there too just tell us what you're doing to raise money.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03Email yourlondon@bbc.co.uk.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Nine years ago Jonathan Joly filmed his wife going into labour
0:22:06 > 0:22:08with their first child, in fact he filmed the whole
0:22:08 > 0:22:11thing and put it online.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The video became an internet sensation and inspired the couple
0:22:13 > 0:22:16from Surrey to give up their jobs and film their lives,
0:22:16 > 0:22:17around the clock.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20But is the lack of privacy worth the huge riches it has brought them?
0:22:20 > 0:22:26Sarah Harris has been finding out.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32Especially when they came home from school.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Filming their every move and even in the book
0:22:34 > 0:22:38is about their own family.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Nine years after launching themselves onto the Internet,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44the Saccone-Jolys have given up their jobs and are making a good
0:22:44 > 0:22:48living out of this full-time.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Would I recommend marrying the person you work with every
0:22:50 > 0:22:52single day, having children with that person...
0:22:52 > 0:22:55You can say no!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I would!
0:22:57 > 0:22:58I would!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I think it depends on the person.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Because we are best friends more than we are, like,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09in a boring relationship I feel.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Each video is watched by hundreds and thousands of people online
0:23:13 > 0:23:19and that leads to lucrative contracts with advertisers
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and Internet platforms although they say money was not
0:23:21 > 0:23:26a motivator when they got started.
0:23:26 > 0:23:34It wasn't as lucrative back then and it wasn't really accepted,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37even for us in the very beginning, we were kind of seen as almost...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39The weirdos!
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Yeah, like this is something weird.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Why would you do that?!
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Yeah, and now it's kind of become a lot more mainstream.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Their three children are a big draw but deciding how much of their lives
0:23:50 > 0:23:53makes the cut is one of the reasons they turned down an offer
0:23:53 > 0:23:55to make a TV series.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58With us being their parents, of course we have their best
0:23:58 > 0:24:00interests at heart always.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Whereas if it were a producer or somebody else, of course
0:24:03 > 0:24:07they are going to want ratings so they are going to show things
0:24:07 > 0:24:09like tantrums or fights or arguments and things that we really don't
0:24:10 > 0:24:11want out there.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Sometimes in the middle if we are having a big
0:24:13 > 0:24:17fight it would be like, hold on a second, I want to get
0:24:17 > 0:24:18another angle on that!
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Trawling through presents sent to them by fans,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30the intrusion into their lives can be a problem but for now the family
0:24:30 > 0:24:32is determined to make the most of their Internet fame
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and their lives out of the office.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Sarah Harris, BBC London News.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45They must be mad! Speaking of which, we are joined by Tomas with the
0:24:45 > 0:24:48weather. You would love to do that, wouldn't you?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52No!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54No!
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Let me tell you what is happening tomorrow, but milder. Today was
0:25:01 > 0:25:07chilly, only around 7 degrees this afternoon and that was for a brief
0:25:07 > 0:25:12moment, a lot colder in the morning. The clouds have rolled in and that
0:25:12 > 0:25:16is a sign of things to come because the weather in the next few days is
0:25:16 > 0:25:22going to turn, not warm up because it will still be chilly, but the
0:25:22 > 0:25:25temperature is going to rise a bit. These are the temperature is first
0:25:25 > 0:25:31thing tomorrow morning I'm a still a bit nippy, not as low as one but
0:25:31 > 0:25:36four or five for most of us and the clouds keep coming in tomorrow and
0:25:36 > 0:25:41it will be pretty overcast with bits of rain coming and going. You can
0:25:41 > 0:25:45see the temperature is a bit higher, three or 4 degrees up on what we
0:25:45 > 0:25:52have had today. Pretty cloudy and gloomy and boring on the weather
0:25:52 > 0:25:56front tomorrow and then Wednesday morning is going to be quite misty
0:25:56 > 0:26:02and murky so be prepared if you are travelling for some fog. It could be
0:26:02 > 0:26:04quite sick, not desperately, you should be able to see the end of
0:26:04 > 0:26:09your nose, but high pressure means that Wednesday morning looks gloomy
0:26:09 > 0:26:16and murky. And in a couple of areas probably outside of town it may
0:26:16 > 0:26:22linger into the afternoon and this is the time of the year for this to
0:26:22 > 0:26:28persist. 12 degrees, cool but not freezing. It can get colder at this
0:26:28 > 0:26:33time of the year. And towards the end of the week things will be
0:26:33 > 0:26:38improving I think. We will get some sunshine on Friday and the weekend
0:26:38 > 0:26:44is looking pretty good as well and after that it will cool off and into
0:26:44 > 0:26:46December it is going to be quite chilly.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Thank you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Now the main headlines...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54MPs are being promised a "meaningful vote" on any Brexit
0:26:54 > 0:26:55agreement before Britain leaves the EU.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57The Brexit Secretary said new legislation will allow
0:26:57 > 0:27:01parliament to scrutinise proposals once a deal has been reached.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05More than 350 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake that
0:27:05 > 0:27:07struck the northern border of Iran and Iraq.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Another 4000 were injured and the casualty figure is expected
0:27:09 > 0:27:13to rise on both sides of the border.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18The former boyfriend of the reality television star
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Ferne McCann has been found guilty of carrying out an acid
0:27:20 > 0:27:22attack in a nightclub.
0:27:22 > 0:27:2314 people were injured when Arthur Collins threw
0:27:23 > 0:27:26the substance over a crowd.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30That's it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35I will be back later during the ten o'clock news,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38but for now from everyone on the team, have a lovely evening.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Thanks for watching.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Goodbye.
