0:00:00 > 0:00:07That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Coming up on tonight's programme:
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Reaction from the people who live near Grenfell
0:00:10 > 0:00:15to today's final death toll.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19A lot of people feel that the figure of 71 isn't true.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21We ask how trust can be rebuilt after the fire
0:00:21 > 0:00:23and we examine the facts from the police investigation.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Also tonight: A glimpse into the future of healthcare
0:00:27 > 0:00:31in the capital - a quiet revolution has taken place, but will we see
0:00:31 > 0:00:39the difference?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm in the West End and as you can see, the lights are on, but is
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Christmas coming a bit too early?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46And how London's ancient Guild of Goldsmiths
0:00:46 > 0:00:56is encouraging a whole new generation of jewellery makers.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Good evening and welcome to the programme.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03More tonight on the investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and the final death toll,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09which the Metropolitan Police has put at 71.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13That includes a stillborn baby, but a local charity says
0:01:13 > 0:01:15there remains a long way to go before trust between locals
0:01:15 > 0:01:19and the authorities is restored.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22More on that in a moment, but first let's hear
0:01:22 > 0:01:24from our Home Affairs Correspondent, Nick Beake, who can
0:01:24 > 0:01:26tell us more about what the police has said today.
0:01:26 > 0:01:33Nick.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Yes, the Metropolitan Police say they have carried out a mammoth and
0:01:37 > 0:01:41meticulous operation over the past five months, one of the biggest in
0:01:41 > 0:01:45their history. When you look at the scale of it, it's easy to see why.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51The police said today that they now believe 293 people were in Grenfell
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Tower when the fire started. From looking at CCTV and other video,
0:01:56 > 0:02:02they believe 223 people escaped. That means that 70 people perished,
0:02:02 > 0:02:07including a baby was stillborn. So in all, 71 people are said to have
0:02:07 > 0:02:12died. But we know there is great controversy surrounding that figure.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Some people thought it was much higher, and there was anger in the
0:02:15 > 0:02:19days and weeks after the tragedy. Today the police tried to give an
0:02:19 > 0:02:23insight into the task they faced. They let it be known that more than
0:02:23 > 0:02:30400 people were reported missing in the hours and days after the fire.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34One person, for example, was reported missing 46 different times.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38The police also said they were hampered by false reporting, eight
0:02:38 > 0:02:41cases of people claiming that loved ones had perished when they hadn't.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46We know that the people who did die were from lots of different
0:02:46 > 0:02:49backgrounds. They were representative of our great city,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52from different nationalities. In the 70s, Grenfell Tower was known as
0:02:52 > 0:03:00Morocco power to some people, and one of my colleagues has been
0:03:00 > 0:03:05talking to Moroccan communities affected by this tragedy.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08This is a family that lived on the 21st floor of Grenfell Tower. All
0:03:08 > 0:03:18five died in the fire in June. Malika was best friends with one of
0:03:18 > 0:03:23them who was a mother and wife.She was a happy lady and everybody
0:03:23 > 0:03:30misses her. As soon as I saw the fire, I said, there is Fauzia's
0:03:30 > 0:03:39building. I was crying and praying for her. And when we asked the boys,
0:03:39 > 0:03:45we know they died.Many who died in the Grenfell fire, like that family,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48were of Moroccan descent. Around 8000 Moroccans live here in north
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Kensington. Grenfell Tower, commonly known as the Morocco tower in the
0:03:53 > 0:03:571970s, was home to at least 40 Moroccan families. It's a community
0:03:57 > 0:04:05that was hit incredibly hard by the tragedy. A charity has been helping
0:04:05 > 0:04:08vulnerable Moroccan and Arabic speaking women in north Kensington
0:04:08 > 0:04:11for three decades. It's also been helping those affected by the
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Grenfell fire. Bella has worked closely with the families and says
0:04:14 > 0:04:19the Moroccan community felt ignored in the aftermath.A lot of the
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Moroccan community did feel marginalised. Some of our Moroccan
0:04:23 > 0:04:28friends and families went into that tower and didn't come out in order
0:04:28 > 0:04:31to save their neighbours, and these people have been here for
0:04:31 > 0:04:35generations. So they are not undocumented migrants. It beggars
0:04:35 > 0:04:40belief that a lot of people think that.She says the authorities'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43response to the tragedy has led to a mistrust of the figures on the death
0:04:43 > 0:04:50toll.A lot of people feel that the figure of 71 isn't true. They don't
0:04:50 > 0:04:55believe it's a real figure. Grassroot charities like Al
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Hasaniya, who feel they have stepped in where the authorities failed, say
0:04:58 > 0:05:05five months on, there needs to be more action to help rebuild trust.
0:05:05 > 0:05:12The people that went through this horrible tragedy who are still being
0:05:12 > 0:05:18pushed from pillar to post need whoever is in charge to pull their
0:05:18 > 0:05:23finger out and get on with it, just sort them out. They don't deserve
0:05:23 > 0:05:29it. No one deserves it. How would you feel if it was you?The council
0:05:29 > 0:05:32says it is doing all it can to affect those affected by the
0:05:32 > 0:05:39tragedy, but many still need convincing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Nick, we heard there that some people have doubts about today's
0:05:43 > 0:05:46final death toll figure, questioning the number. Is that typical of
0:05:46 > 0:05:52people there?I spoke to some mums today who were picking up their kids
0:05:52 > 0:05:57from school and they said that their trust in the authorities all but
0:05:57 > 0:06:00evaporated in the days after the fire, when they were not getting the
0:06:00 > 0:06:05information they desperately needed. Consequently, now, when an official
0:06:05 > 0:06:11figure is given, they are extremely sceptical. I also spoke to a Labour
0:06:11 > 0:06:14councillor, an opposition councillor here in Kensington, and he said
0:06:14 > 0:06:17people need to accept the final figure. He says he believes the
0:06:17 > 0:06:23police have done a good job and that no one could have foreseen how
0:06:23 > 0:06:27complex this investigation would be. And as far as the investigation is
0:06:27 > 0:06:33concerned, what next?Today the Metropolitan Police said that
0:06:33 > 0:06:40Grenfell Tower will continue to be a crime scene until next spring. Why
0:06:40 > 0:06:44is that? Well, they say they will continue evidence gathering.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Scotland Yard say they are considering charges against
0:06:48 > 0:06:51individuals and also charges of corporate manslaughter. The Met also
0:06:51 > 0:06:55said that once it is no longer a crime scene, there will not stand in
0:06:55 > 0:07:00the way of possible demolition of Grenfell Tower. And of course, after
0:07:00 > 0:07:04all we have been through in the last five months, when the decision is
0:07:04 > 0:07:07made by councils and others to demolish Grenfell Tower, that would
0:07:07 > 0:07:16be a hugely symbolic moment.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Today, you could probably say - there was a "quiet revolution"
0:07:18 > 0:07:20in how London's healthcare is run.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24From now on, hospitals and healthcare trusts can
0:07:24 > 0:07:26use the land they own to earn money to help
0:07:26 > 0:07:29pay for your care.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33On top of that, Mayor Sadiq Khan has been given a say in how
0:07:33 > 0:07:35the money gets spent,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37the idea being that cash raised in London stays in London.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39But will you notice any difference?
0:07:39 > 0:07:46Here's our Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51It was built to last, but they probably didn't expect it to last
0:07:51 > 0:07:55this long. 118 years after it was open, patients and staff are still
0:07:55 > 0:08:01coming to this site. The service may be world leading at Moorfields. But
0:08:01 > 0:08:05the facilities need updating. They do have plans, but the pace of
0:08:05 > 0:08:10change in the NHS can be pretty slow. That may start to change from
0:08:10 > 0:08:14today. A new deal signed between central government, City Hall and
0:08:14 > 0:08:19the capital's NHS. It will see more decisions about spending on health
0:08:19 > 0:08:23kept in the capital, and help places like Moorfields develop.To do that,
0:08:23 > 0:08:28we need to be in a purpose-built facility. So we have a real ambition
0:08:28 > 0:08:33to do that. This framework will hopefully allow some of those
0:08:33 > 0:08:37decisions to be taken at pace and allow us to make those plans a
0:08:37 > 0:08:44reality.It is hoped that the plan could lead to more of this sort of
0:08:44 > 0:08:47thing, minor operation is being done in new and improved GP surgeries.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51London will be able to keep the money raised from selling any
0:08:51 > 0:08:56unneeded NHS land and decide where to spend it.First of all, the money
0:08:56 > 0:09:02is kept within London. Secondly, the wider London NHS family, the mayor
0:09:02 > 0:09:07and the boroughs, can decide how it is spent. So crumbling GP
0:09:07 > 0:09:10infrastructure and GP buildings can now be refurbished with the money
0:09:10 > 0:09:14which previously went back to the Treasury.But the new deal does not
0:09:14 > 0:09:18bring any more money. At a time when NHS bosses say they are more
0:09:18 > 0:09:22stretched than ever. Even without extra cash, though, it is a big step
0:09:22 > 0:09:26in handing more power to the capital.In a city the size of
0:09:26 > 0:09:29London, with over 100 different organisations, there are some
0:09:29 > 0:09:33decisions where it will be better if we can take those once for London
0:09:33 > 0:09:39rather than taking them 100 times in 100 different organisations.That is
0:09:39 > 0:09:43what this deal offers us. A glimpse of the future. London has some of
0:09:43 > 0:09:50the power it wanted. It will now have to deliver results.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You're with BBC London News this Thursday, 16th November.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55This is what's still to come:
0:09:55 > 0:09:58With concerns over how London is going to fare plus Brexit, I am at a
0:09:58 > 0:10:02tech conference in east London, speaking to innovators and
0:10:02 > 0:10:09entrepreneurs about how they are trying to future proof.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Uber's appeal to renew its London licence could take years.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16The Mayor of London said the appeal process against Transport
0:10:16 > 0:10:19for London's decision to strip the taxi app of its licence
0:10:19 > 0:10:21was a lengthy one.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24TfL deemed Uber "unfit to run a taxi service".
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Uber has previously said it was "determined
0:10:26 > 0:10:28to make things right".
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you think about it, there are four tiers,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35going all the way up to the Supreme Court potentially.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So before all the appeals are exhausted, because obviously
0:10:38 > 0:10:43there's a delay to get a case heard before a court, the best guesstimate
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I've been given is that it could take a number of years.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49But I would be surprised if we didn't have the first hearing
0:10:49 > 0:10:56in the early part of next year.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You often hear it said that Christmas comes
0:10:58 > 0:11:01earlier every year - and this year is no exception.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You might have noticed Christmas products on the shelves
0:11:03 > 0:11:05for weeks already, and the Oxford Street
0:11:05 > 0:11:09lights are already on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, tonight, Regent Street has had its lights switched on too -
0:11:12 > 0:11:14which is why it's closed to traffic tonight.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Jim Wheble is there.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21JIm.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25That's right, you can see them in the background, the Regent Street
0:11:25 > 0:11:29lights, just switched on minutes ago. There are thousands of people
0:11:29 > 0:11:35here. It's what organisers are calling a festive shopping
0:11:35 > 0:11:43experience. There is an economic reality which underpins this. A
0:11:43 > 0:11:46quarter of annual sales happen over the Christmas period. Start the
0:11:46 > 0:11:52festivities off early, and maybe Christmas will last a little longer.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58Christmas lights - festive fun, or a constant reminder hanging over our
0:11:58 > 0:12:07heads to spend some money? That was Kylie Minogue and Pudsey, doing the
0:12:07 > 0:12:12honours in Covent Garden on Tuesday. The week before, it was Oxford
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Street. Today, it's the turn of Regent Street. Although a cold blast
0:12:18 > 0:12:22of economic reality blew through the West End today, it came in the shape
0:12:22 > 0:12:27of the latest ONS retail figures. Retail sales in the UK recorded
0:12:27 > 0:12:35their first fall since 2013, a drop of 0.3% compared to last October.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40But the figure that will make retailers around here sit up is this
0:12:40 > 0:12:45one, a 10% increase in online sales. It's why a lot of Christmas
0:12:45 > 0:12:53razzmatazz is so important for the shops around here.We are working
0:12:53 > 0:12:57hard to create reasons to visit. The Christmas lights are a fantastic
0:12:57 > 0:13:02reason for Londoners and customers to come down. So we are competing
0:13:02 > 0:13:06with online ways to spend money. The lights and entertainment are
0:13:06 > 0:13:09critical for our businesses.So that is some of the economics behind our
0:13:09 > 0:13:14early Christmas, but does it feel right?I love Christmas. I was born
0:13:14 > 0:13:20on Christmas Day, so it's my favourite time of year.It's getting
0:13:20 > 0:13:22too early. In the shops, there are Christmas cards in August.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Definitely don't think is too early. People need to plan in advance and
0:13:27 > 0:13:31it's a nice experience, so why not enjoy it?Good or bad, Christmas has
0:13:31 > 0:13:35begun.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I mentioned that there were events happening up and down Regent Street.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Here is one behind me, a giant Advent calendar. If you look up the
0:13:44 > 0:13:48road, you can see the queue is going 50 metres, so it is obviously
0:13:48 > 0:13:54popular. I am with Beatrice from Malton Brown, who have put this on.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Call me old-fashioned, but I seem to remember advent calendar starting on
0:13:57 > 0:14:01the 1st of December, not the middle of November. Is it a cynical and it
0:14:01 > 0:14:10going on here?You are very old-fashioned, Jamie! Christmas is
0:14:10 > 0:14:18coming early now. We are here in Regent Street. It is iconic to
0:14:18 > 0:14:21switch on the lights. We at Molton Brown want to be part of the
0:14:21 > 0:14:30celebration. That is why we have our gigantic advent calendar.Thank you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36I will just leave you with this final thought. The shopping frenzy
0:14:36 > 0:14:41will kick off in earnest next week, when it is Black Friday.I am sure
0:14:41 > 0:14:49we will cover that as well.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Peter Mandelson says Brexit will seriously threaten London's global
0:14:54 > 0:14:58status. He was speaking at a conference today about the
0:14:58 > 0:15:03challenges London faces. Here is what he said.People come to London
0:15:03 > 0:15:08so that they can access the whole of the European 500 million strong
0:15:08 > 0:15:16single market. Once we remove ourselves from that, we become less
0:15:16 > 0:15:19relevant to those international businesses and investors who will
0:15:19 > 0:15:25find other places to locate within Europe.But not everyone feels the
0:15:25 > 0:15:31picture is so bleak.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Today a group of London's Tech and Digital businesses,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36got together to think of ways - of linking-up with new markets
0:15:36 > 0:15:39around the world and making the most of post-Brexit opportunities.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Katharine Carpenter went to meet them.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45We have come to this tech conference to get a sense of how this industry
0:15:45 > 0:15:50is feeling about Brexit. It can be a hard thing to measure but luckily
0:15:50 > 0:15:54these two developers from London have invented an artificial
0:15:54 > 0:16:02intelligence sensor which can gauge the mood of this room.I think the
0:16:02 > 0:16:06room is feeling positive. Updates in real time and currently on the rise.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Perhaps that's because today was partly about networking and seizing
0:16:11 > 0:16:14opportunity beyond Europe. As long as we try to engage with other
0:16:14 > 0:16:18nations in the way that is different as it has been in the past and the
0:16:18 > 0:16:22more competitive and open way and a collaborative way, I think things
0:16:22 > 0:16:26will change and it will work out for the best.As an entrepreneur you
0:16:26 > 0:16:32have got to innovate in these times. Companies like Twitter started in
0:16:32 > 0:16:37their perceived downturn so we have to get on with it.But there were
0:16:37 > 0:16:43universal worries here too. None of them lost on the Mayor's chief
0:16:43 > 0:16:48digital officer.The first is access to talent, the second is access to
0:16:48 > 0:16:54markets, and also data laws don't diverged too far from what the
0:16:54 > 0:16:58European union is proposing so we can have access to these markets.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03A bit better than mine... One of those targeting the tech skills gap,
0:17:03 > 0:17:13a star that helped inspire a generation of innovators.There is a
0:17:13 > 0:17:17real need for a concerted effort to look at our education system and
0:17:17 > 0:17:21decide how we are preparing young people for the world of tomorrow.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27Are we really doing it as well as we can do? Do we need to focus on quite
0:17:27 > 0:17:32so much formal measuring perhaps at the expense of talent which becomes
0:17:32 > 0:17:36disengaged?The tech sector is not alone in trying to answer these big
0:17:36 > 0:17:44questions, still feeling its way to building a brighter future.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47From modern technology to a trade of the past.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49The Goldsmiths' Company has been part of London life
0:17:49 > 0:17:50for nearly 700 years.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It was formed as a guild of craftsmen working with gold,
0:17:53 > 0:17:54and it continues to promote jewellery design.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58But now, it's trying to attract new, young talent with the help
0:17:58 > 0:17:59of a competition and Wendy Hurrell can
0:17:59 > 0:18:06tell us about it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08These are the Leopards, an elite cluster of jewellery makers
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and part of a 700-year-old history in London.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The jewellery workshop is an incredible place.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's quite grubby and there's a lot of noise and hammering
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and flames and smells.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Everyone looks a bit grubby, and out of the end is this treasure.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28And though they sparkle, London doesn't show off about it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Everyone wants to come here to sell, everyone wants to come
0:18:30 > 0:18:33here to learn, everyone wants to come here to use our
0:18:33 > 0:18:34creative brilliance.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We have the best colleges, we have the best places of learning,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39we have the best workshops, and I think we probably have
0:18:39 > 0:18:41the best designers in the world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44But we never really make a song and dance about it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46So they have decided to roar about their trade.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Last night they put on a glittering awards ceremony.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53The inaugural event was here in Goldsmith Hall -
0:18:53 > 0:18:55for seven centuries, the centre of London's
0:18:55 > 0:18:57jewellery industry.
0:18:57 > 0:19:002.5 million pieces a year are brought here to be stamped
0:19:00 > 0:19:04with the leopard's head.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10That's the mark of quality and it shows it's been tested in London.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13The Leopards want to preserve their craft and promote talent
0:19:13 > 0:19:14so they've launched a mentoring programme
0:19:14 > 0:19:22with the Prince's Trust.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Young people submitted their designs.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Hannah is one winner.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29She will soon be starting an apprenticeship in
0:19:29 > 0:19:31a professional workshop.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32She usually works in her bedroom.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I was making a ring once and I had a clamp attached to it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I was soldering and it pinged, this hot thing,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41it was like 1000 degrees.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It pinged all the way across and landed on my bed
0:19:43 > 0:19:47and I have a burnt hole in my bed where it landed!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Have you told your new mentor?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52No, I have not!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Cubs will be cubs but the Leopards hope they will carry on one
0:19:55 > 0:20:00of London's most ancient crafts.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15The amazing talent right here under our noses in London.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17After spending three years at Crystal Palace,
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Premier League footballer Yannick Bolasie
0:20:18 > 0:20:20headed up to Everton in a multi-million pound transfer.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22But it was actually at non-League Hillingdon Borough
0:20:22 > 0:20:23that he learnt his skills.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Well, he's been back for a visit and Chris Slegg can also tell us why
0:20:27 > 0:20:37he earned the nickname "Burger King Boy" while there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46This is YB3 football, a three-a-side game named after its
0:20:46 > 0:20:47founder, Yannick Bolasie.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50The Premier League star has been back to the club
0:20:50 > 0:20:53where he played as a boy - Hillingdon Borough - to encourage
0:20:53 > 0:20:54youngsters to give it a go.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57A lot of people like playing football so not everyone can be
0:20:57 > 0:21:00a pro, this is a different way to express their self.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I used to do a lot of three-a-side tournaments when I was younger
0:21:03 > 0:21:06in the estate that I was brought up in and those are the kind
0:21:06 > 0:21:09of things I used to see.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You know, people would get nutmegs, and sweep skills, press ups,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13all going on at the same time.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15The skills nurtured by Hillingdon Borough have carried
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Yannick Bolasie a long way.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Towards the far post, and it's in!
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Yannick Bolasie!
0:21:19 > 0:21:22After helping Crystal Palace reach the FA Cup final last year,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Everton signed him for £25 million.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26To make it to the top, he's had to work hard and it
0:21:26 > 0:21:28would seem change his diet.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Every time he used to score, I used to give him a burger.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35There was a time once he had eight burgers in one match and he had
0:21:35 > 0:21:39to share them with the rest of his team.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41He hasn't played since suffering a knee injury last December,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44but visiting old friends in west London has helped him cope
0:21:44 > 0:21:46with those frustrations.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50From the rehab, to come back here, refresh my mind and go again
0:21:50 > 0:21:52when I'm almost coming back has been really great.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55This brings back a lot of memories.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59This pitch here that we are standing on, I used to play on a Sunday
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and our team was unbeaten, you know.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03At Hillingdon Borough they always knew he had the talent
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and the temperament to take him all the way.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09When he was in our youth section, I used to always see him smile.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13He was always very cheerful.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It didn't matter what happened, he always had a smile on his face
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and enjoyed his burgers!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27This week, ahead of tomorrow's Children in Need fundraiser,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29we're showing you where your generously donated money is spent.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32And when you see where it goes, it's no wonder so many
0:22:32 > 0:22:36of you dig even deeper when possible.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39One of the charities you help is The Horse Rangers Association
0:22:39 > 0:22:40in south west London.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Groups there are arranged into squadrons,
0:22:42 > 0:22:49and Number 7 is the Riding for the Disabled Group.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53OK, as it is a bit rainy tonight, do you think we can reach up
0:22:53 > 0:22:55to the stars and get some of the clouds out?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58My name is Jo and I am one of the instructors
0:22:58 > 0:23:01here and I piloted the programme about seven years ago.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Wonderful.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05There are children with additional needs that don't get to be involved.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I just knew that there has to be a room for this Squadron 7 RDA
0:23:08 > 0:23:12to take place and that is why we do it in the evening,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15so that the children can come from school and they are older.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Once they start senior school with additional needs,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20some schools find the curriculum...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23They find that horse riding is not part of education,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25when it is everything.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27They have learnt skills that they can take home
0:23:27 > 0:23:29to their parents and their friends and say, "Guess what,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I learnt to tack up a horse today."
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Pretty awesome.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Or, "I picked a horse's foot out."
0:23:34 > 0:23:37And some of these children don't have the strength to do that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39As they come riding regularly, the core strength builds
0:23:39 > 0:23:40and the confidence builds.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45I am, basically, mucking out the horses.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50You always have to pick up...
0:23:50 > 0:23:54I am Anna and I am here because I am helping look after the horses.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57She has had some quite tough times, particularly recently,
0:23:57 > 0:23:58haven't you, sweetheart?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03And actually, this is the bit of the week that, no matter
0:24:03 > 0:24:05what else has been happening, she has always come home
0:24:05 > 0:24:11from smiling and happy.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I like doing everything.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I like riding, mucking out, just making sure the horses
0:24:16 > 0:24:20are happy and healthy.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Horse riding is a really expensive sport.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's all done by voluntary work.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26All my volunteers, they come every single week, unpaid.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30It is all one big family.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I get a massive kind of escape from my week in that I am
0:24:33 > 0:24:35taking four A-levels, there is a lot of stress,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37but when I come here, it's all about the kids
0:24:38 > 0:24:39and the horses.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I buzz every week.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I look forward to this.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47This is my therapy too.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48So that's just one example
0:24:48 > 0:24:50of how your Children In Need money is spent.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And you can join us tomorrow, when we'll be at the Harry Potter
0:24:53 > 0:24:56studios in Hertfordshire, where Pudsey will be joined by some
0:24:56 > 0:24:59very special guests.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01A baby has been born at Waterloo station after his mother,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05travelling from Woking, went into labour on a train.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It happened last month, when Evelyn Brandao,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12approached a train guard to say she was about to give birth.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16When the train arrived at Waterloo, she was rushed into the first aid
0:25:16 > 0:25:18room, where a baby boy was born.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Reign is believed to be the first baby
0:25:20 > 0:25:29born at the station.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33And that's in about 180 years or something, amazing.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Now the weather with Nick.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Now the weather with Nick.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42It will be a lot colder tomorrow but then again there will be even more
0:25:42 > 0:25:46sunshine. We had some sunshine today, this weather watcher picture
0:25:46 > 0:25:49just as we were beginning to lose it today from Hampton Court but it will
0:25:49 > 0:25:54be a different scene tomorrow morning when there will be a frost.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Temperatures dipping away quickly overnight, a much colder night to
0:25:58 > 0:26:02come, but then again there will be a lot of sunshine to come tomorrow.
0:26:02 > 0:26:10It's a little bit damp out there at the moment. We have seen thick cloud
0:26:10 > 0:26:13works out across the afternoon producing light rain here and there,
0:26:13 > 0:26:19not amounting to too much. Once we clear the cloud away southwards
0:26:19 > 0:26:23quickly this evening, with clear skies and light winds the
0:26:23 > 0:26:27temperatures dip. Town Centre is holding something above freezing but
0:26:27 > 0:26:31you don't have to venture too far out into the countryside to find
0:26:31 > 0:26:38something at or a few degrees below freezing. Tomorrow look at this, the
0:26:38 > 0:26:45ground lit up golden by the not just at the start of the day but
0:26:45 > 0:26:50throughout. A light wind and cold start, but in the first few hours of
0:26:50 > 0:26:53the afternoon it will feel pleasant in the sunshine before temperatures
0:26:53 > 0:26:58drop away quickly as we go through into the evening. Be aware, if you
0:26:58 > 0:27:02are heading outside for any Children in Need activities it will be
0:27:02 > 0:27:12turning cold. Pudsey is all right, he has that bear thing going on but
0:27:12 > 0:27:18the rest of us need to stay warm. With more cloud around, I think
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Saturday will feel colder. Not so much of that blue sky. Another frost
0:27:23 > 0:27:27to start the day on Sunday but we will see sunny spells. Into next
0:27:27 > 0:27:30week it will be turning milder but by then we will
0:27:31 > 0:27:31week it will be turning milder but by then we will have lost the
0:27:31 > 0:27:36sunshine. A bright day for Children in Need
0:27:36 > 0:27:39which is good.
0:27:39 > 0:27:47I will be back at 10:30pm. Do have a very good evening, goodbye.
