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

Nine years ago Jonathan Joly
filmed his wife going into labour | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
with their first child,
in fact he filmed the whole | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
thing and put it online. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
The video became an internet
sensation and inspired the couple | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
from Surrey to give up their jobs
and film their lives, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
around the clock. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
But is the lack of privacy worth
the huge riches it has brought them? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Sarah Harris has been finding out. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:26 | |
Especially when they
came home from school. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:32 | |
Filming their every move
and even in the book | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
is about their own family. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
Nine years after launching
themselves onto the Internet, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
the Saccone-Jolys have given
up their jobs and are making a good | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
living out of this full-time. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Would I recommend marrying
the person you work with every | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
single day, having children
with that person... | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
You can say no! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
I would! | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
I would! | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
I think it depends on the person. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Because we are best friends
more than we are, like, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
in a boring relationship I feel. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
Each video is watched by hundreds
and thousands of people online | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
and that leads to lucrative
contracts with advertisers | 0:23:13 | 0:23:19 | |
and Internet platforms
although they say money was not | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
a motivator when they got started. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
It wasn't as lucrative back then
and it wasn't really accepted, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:34 | |
even for us in the very beginning,
we were kind of seen as almost... | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
The weirdos! | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
Yeah, like this is something weird. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
Why would you do that?! | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
Yeah, and now it's kind of become
a lot more mainstream. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
Their three children are a big draw
but deciding how much of their lives | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
makes the cut is one of the reasons
they turned down an offer | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
to make a TV series. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
With us being their parents,
of course we have their best | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
interests at heart always. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Whereas if it were a producer
or somebody else, of course | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
they are going to want ratings
so they are going to show things | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
like tantrums or fights or arguments
and things that we really don't | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
want out there. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Sometimes in the middle
if we are having a big | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
fight it would be like,
hold on a second, I want to get | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
another angle on that! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
Trawling through presents
sent to them by fans, | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
the intrusion into their lives can
be a problem but for now the family | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
is determined to make the most
of their Internet fame | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
and their lives out of the office. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Sarah Harris, BBC London News. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
They must be mad! Speaking of which,
we are joined by Tomas with the | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
weather. You would love to do that,
wouldn't you? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
No! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
No! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Let me tell you what is happening
tomorrow, but milder. Today was | 0:24:55 | 0:25:01 | |
chilly, only around 7 degrees this
afternoon and that was for a brief | 0:25:01 | 0:25:07 | |
moment, a lot colder in the morning.
The clouds have rolled in and that | 0:25:07 | 0:25:12 | |
is a sign of things to come because
the weather in the next few days is | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
going to turn, not warm up because
it will still be chilly, but the | 0:25:16 | 0:25:22 | |
temperature is going to rise a bit.
These are the temperature is first | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
thing tomorrow morning I'm a still a
bit nippy, not as low as one but | 0:25:25 | 0:25:31 | |
four or five for most of us and the
clouds keep coming in tomorrow and | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
it will be pretty overcast with bits
of rain coming and going. You can | 0:25:36 | 0:25:41 | |
see the temperature is a bit higher,
three or 4 degrees up on what we | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
have had today. Pretty cloudy and
gloomy and boring on the weather | 0:25:45 | 0:25:52 | |
front tomorrow and then Wednesday
morning is going to be quite misty | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
and murky so be prepared if you are
travelling for some fog. It could be | 0:25:56 | 0:26:02 | |
quite sick, not desperately, you
should be able to see the end of | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
your nose, but high pressure means
that Wednesday morning looks gloomy | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
and murky. And in a couple of areas
probably outside of town it may | 0:26:09 | 0:26:16 | |
linger into the afternoon and this
is the time of the year for this to | 0:26:16 | 0:26:22 | |
persist. 12 degrees, cool but not
freezing. It can get colder at this | 0:26:22 | 0:26:28 | |
time of the year. And towards the
end of the week things will be | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
improving I think. We will get some
sunshine on Friday and the weekend | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
is looking pretty good as well and
after that it will cool off and into | 0:26:38 | 0:26:44 | |
December it is going to be quite
chilly. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
Thank you. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
Now the main headlines... | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
MPs are being promised
a "meaningful vote" on any Brexit | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
agreement before
Britain leaves the EU. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
The Brexit Secretary said
new legislation will allow | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
parliament to scrutinise proposals
once a deal has been reached. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
More than 350 people have been
killed in a powerful earthquake that | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
struck the northern border
of Iran and Iraq. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Another 4000 were injured
and the casualty figure is expected | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
to rise on both sides of the border. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
The former boyfriend
of the reality television star | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Ferne McCann has been found guilty
of carrying out an acid | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
attack in a nightclub. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
14 people were injured
when Arthur Collins threw | 0:27:22 | 0:27:23 | |
the substance over a crowd. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
That's it. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
I will be back later
during the ten o'clock news, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
but for now from everyone
on the team, have a lovely evening. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Thanks for watching. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
Goodbye. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 |
