0:00:16 > 0:00:18Coming up on BBC London News:
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The woman in charge of one of the reviews
0:00:20 > 0:00:22into the Grenfell tragedy gives a damning assessment
0:00:22 > 0:00:24of building regulations that led to fire.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Others ask why isn't she calling for an immediate ban
0:00:26 > 0:00:28of any combustible cladding on new buildings.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Also ahead, 25 years on,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the London victims of a Libyan air crash demand
0:00:31 > 0:00:36compensation for what they say was a terror attack.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Plus, introducing the new clergy to class.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40The next Bishop of London is announced,
0:00:41 > 0:00:48the first woman ever in the role.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52It was a surprise, but I'm really delighted, I have lived and worked
0:00:52 > 0:00:55in London for 32 years.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And it was certainly a surprise for Sir Mo -
0:00:57 > 0:00:59as he wins BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But as we find out, not for those at the Twickenham running
0:01:02 > 0:01:10track named after him.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14A very warm welcome to the programme.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18First tonight, "not fit for purpose" and "cutting corners" -
0:01:18 > 0:01:19the damning assessment of building regulations
0:01:19 > 0:01:22that led to the Grenfell fire.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24In the first of two major reviews of what went wrong,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Dame Judith Hackitt says that the rules should
0:01:26 > 0:01:29simplified and a complete change in culture is now required to ensure
0:01:29 > 0:01:31cost is never prioritised over safety.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34She says she's been shocked by some of the practices she's heard about.
0:01:34 > 0:01:44Here's our political correspondent Karl Mercer.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48The burnt out shell of Grenfell Tower stands as a grim
0:01:48 > 0:01:50reminder that 71 people lost their lives here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And a stark reminder of the failings that led to those deaths.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The fire in June prompted a review of fire regulations and the way
0:01:56 > 0:01:57high-rise buildings are built.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Today, the woman behind that review gave her first findings
0:01:59 > 0:02:09And was damning of the current system.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14It is overly complex, and it is confusing. There is confusion about
0:02:14 > 0:02:17roles and responsibilities throughout, and a general lack of
0:02:17 > 0:02:19competence and accreditation in many areas.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22In the weeks that followed the Grenfell fire,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25the Chalcott Estate in Camden saw cladding removed, and hundreds
0:02:25 > 0:02:29of people moved out as urgent safety improvements had to be made.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34The Ledbury Estate in Southwark also saw issues with its gas supply.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37And councils like Croydon promised millions of pounds
0:02:37 > 0:02:42to retrofit all of their tower blocks with sprinklers.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43But Dame Judith says the regulations around high-rises
0:02:43 > 0:02:48need looking at again.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53What I am setting out to do is put a better system in place for the
0:02:53 > 0:02:55future that will ensure that buildings are built to the right
0:02:55 > 0:03:00standard in the first place, and equally importantly, that they are
0:03:00 > 0:03:04then men tamed and that integrity is maintained throughout the life cycle
0:03:04 > 0:03:08of the building.The current regulations are complicated, so when
0:03:08 > 0:03:12it came to cladding Grenfell Tower, it was easy for mistakes to be made
0:03:12 > 0:03:17or corners to be cut. Those in the industry say there is an opportunity
0:03:17 > 0:03:22now to simplify things.This has opened up ambiguities and unintended
0:03:22 > 0:03:30consequences, so I concrete example - there is this idea of materials of
0:03:30 > 0:03:34limited combustibility, but we should be using non-combustible
0:03:34 > 0:03:40materials, not these complex definitions.Changing culture will
0:03:40 > 0:03:43take time, Dame Judith Hackitt men is that, but it is our intention to
0:03:43 > 0:03:52work with her to implement those recommendations.Dame Judith will
0:03:52 > 0:03:56issue a full report in the spring. Karl Mercer, BBC London News.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Plenty more ahead tonight, including...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Drivers face a bigger fine from the New Year.
0:04:03 > 0:04:10The penalty for failing to pay the congestion charge is going up.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12There's been a huge rise in the number of victims
0:04:12 > 0:04:16of sexual assault coming forward to the Met Police.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Figures obtained by BBC London show it's gone up by more than
0:04:19 > 0:04:237,000 in the last four years.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The force says it suggests victims are increasingly confident
0:04:25 > 0:04:27that such crimes will be taken seriously.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30But support groups say many cases are still not reaching the courts.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Here's our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Jen wants to speak out about what happened to her.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42She says she was raped by a man she knew well.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46It was a really difficult decision for me to come forward about it,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49because it involved a lot of people that I knew and a lot of friends,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and it took me quite a few days to decide to go to the police.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I was in a lot of shock.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I did that, and I ended up being on this absolute emotional
0:04:58 > 0:05:02roller coaster of a court system.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It took police a year to charge the man, and the court case
0:05:05 > 0:05:06was delayed twice before being dropped,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11just three days before the trial.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The first time was absolutely devastating, because,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17as a diligent worker that I am, I'd organised my time off and cover,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21and I was determined to come back, get on with my job and get
0:05:21 > 0:05:25on with life, and I was so mentally transfixed on this date
0:05:25 > 0:05:28as being the time it would be over.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30And then it moved, and I couldn't imagine going
0:05:30 > 0:05:32through another six months of waiting and waiting.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35There's been a big rise in the reporting of sexual assaults.
0:05:35 > 0:05:3710,000 in all back in 2012, last year more than 17,000.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The number of reports of women being raped went from 3,000 to more
0:05:40 > 0:05:50than 5,400, and reports of male rape have tripled in the last four years.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Mary Mason's charity is supporting more and more
0:05:55 > 0:05:58victims of sexual crimes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00She says the increased reporting had not been matched
0:06:00 > 0:06:04by a similar rise in prosecutions.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06They'll say the woman won't make a credible witness in court,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10which I find deeply, deeply troubling,
0:06:10 > 0:06:16so because somebody's vulnerable that is not acceptable.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Police officer Richard Unwin has supported victims of sexual
0:06:19 > 0:06:22offences for over a decade.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24His force says it's now better at investigating
0:06:24 > 0:06:29and attitudes have changed.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34There are things that have been in place for a long time.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The attack down a dark alley because of what someone
0:06:37 > 0:06:40was wearing or by a stranger, that can happen, but it's not
0:06:40 > 0:06:42something that we deal with all the time.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44What we tend to deal with are assaults, sexual violence
0:06:44 > 0:06:49involving partners or friends.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52The Crown Prosecution Service says more defendants have been
0:06:52 > 0:06:56convicted for sexual offences than ever before.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It insists it wasn't its fault that Jenn's case was delayed then dropped
0:06:59 > 0:07:09but campaigners say more offenders need to be brought to justice.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14A police officer is still seriously ill in hospital
0:07:14 > 0:07:17after he and a colleague were hit by a Maserati supercar
0:07:17 > 0:07:19on the North Circular in Neasden.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21The head of the Met says it's a "stark reminder"
0:07:21 > 0:07:23of the dangers officers face.
0:07:23 > 0:07:33Chris Rogers is outside Scotland Yard with more details.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Yes, both officers now in a stable condition, but up until an hour ago,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41the male officer was described as being in a critical condition, so a
0:07:41 > 0:07:45little bit of good news for his colleagues here at New Scotland Yard
0:07:45 > 0:07:50and in Brent. It was the early hours of Sunday morning, both officers in
0:07:50 > 0:07:53their 30s were attending an unrelated incident, and as they made
0:07:53 > 0:07:58their way back to their marked car, a white Maserati ploughed into them.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04The driver stopped, he was arrested at the scene on suspicion of
0:08:04 > 0:08:07dangerous driving. A female passenger in his car was taken to
0:08:07 > 0:08:10hospital with injuries. Speaking to officers here in Brent, while they
0:08:10 > 0:08:14investigate what happened and why, it has become quite clear,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17understandably, that this is an investigation that affects them
0:08:17 > 0:08:22personally. Earlier, their commander page tribute to his officers.The
0:08:22 > 0:08:27officers were dealing with another incident, a vehicle ended up coming
0:08:27 > 0:08:31off the North Circular, colliding with a number of walls and
0:08:31 > 0:08:35ultimately hitting both constables, one of which was trapped under the
0:08:35 > 0:08:39vehicle. Both of them suffered significant injury, and I would just
0:08:39 > 0:08:45like to pay tribute to the emergency services and their colleagues.We
0:08:45 > 0:08:49have just learned that £6,000 has been raised online on a fundraising
0:08:49 > 0:08:53page by members of the public, colleagues have thanked them for
0:08:53 > 0:08:56raising that money, saying it will going a long way to rebuilding the
0:08:56 > 0:09:00lives of the officers and their families. Cressida Dick page tribute
0:09:00 > 0:09:04to her officers today for dealing with an incident that can be very
0:09:04 > 0:09:07difficult to deal with when it involves people you know and work
0:09:07 > 0:09:11with. Chris, thank you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The widow of a man who was killed on a flight which crashed
0:09:15 > 0:09:17over Libya 25 years ago says "our lives have
0:09:17 > 0:09:18never been the same".
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Victor Prazak from Battersea was one of 157
0:09:20 > 0:09:24passengers on board who died.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28At the time, it was thought to be a mid-air collision until questions
0:09:28 > 0:09:30emerged pointing to an act of state sponsored terrorism.
0:09:30 > 0:09:39Felicity Prazak says she's never received any compensation.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41This piece I did, it's a self-portrait,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42it represents my lost life.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48I lost my husband, I felt I had been killed and I'd lost my life as well.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Her husband was Victor Prazak, a contractor working
0:09:50 > 0:09:56in Libya and one of those on board flight 1103.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Denied the right to bring back her husband's body or even
0:09:59 > 0:10:02to visit the grave four years after, painting was how she coped.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08I can express myself more in paintings than in words.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10How I felt.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17And then, after the fall of Gaddafi, a different truth emerged.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20His inner circle admitting the plane was shot down on Gaddafi orders,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22an act of terror the present Libyan government
0:10:22 > 0:10:25has not publicly accepted.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Yet Felicity has never received a penny of compensation.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32It's just what I should have, if other people have had big
0:10:32 > 0:10:34pay-outs, why is my husband ignored?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36As a family, we try to cope,
0:10:36 > 0:10:46but we know our lives would have been very different.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And yet in the UK, around £9 billion worth of Gaddafi
0:10:50 > 0:10:51frozen assets are held.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54This house in north London was some of it, and in this case,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57the High Court gave it back to the current Libyan authorities.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The question for UK victims of Gaddafi sponsored terrorism -
0:10:59 > 0:11:03why can't some of these frozen assets be used to pay compensation?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yesterday, a memorial was held for the victims
0:11:06 > 0:11:13of the 1983 IRA Harrods bomb, the explosives supplied by Gaddafi.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Susanne Dodds' police officer father,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18hailed a hero, lost his life.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Our government should be stronger with the frozen assets.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We do have a bill going through the House of Lords.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30It's going to the Commons, hopefully in January.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And the Government needs to stand up for their victims
0:11:33 > 0:11:38to actually give us the compensation.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40In a special debate here last week,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42the minister for the Middle East, Alastair Burt,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46addressed these questions of Gaddafi's frozen billions.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51He said that the UN resolution used to freeze the assets is clear -
0:11:51 > 0:11:54they should be for the benefit of the Libyan people.
0:11:54 > 0:12:04And to breach that would break international law.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11This is the aftermath of the Docklands bombing. The local MP
0:12:11 > 0:12:14feels compensation for the victims in his constituency needs to be
0:12:14 > 0:12:16paid.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Families have not been compensated.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19The frozen assets are sitting in bank accounts.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Other countries have been able to compensate their victims.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I don't understand where the UK Government can't compensate cash.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27You've lived with this for 25 years,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31and I can see you've lived with it every day of your life.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I think you never give up hope.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Once you give up hope, all is lost, really.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38And at points I have given up hope,
0:12:38 > 0:12:45but something will happen, and a new window will open.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47A Foreign Office spokesman says the Government is determined
0:12:47 > 0:12:49to see a just resolution, but due to the problems
0:12:49 > 0:12:51facing Libya, progress is likely to remain slow.
0:12:51 > 0:13:00The hope is another 25 years won't pass by.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Next, it's that time of year
0:13:02 > 0:13:04when many of us struggle to work with cold.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Well, last year across the country
0:13:06 > 0:13:08we lost 137 million working days to sickness.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11That works out at just over four days of sick leave
0:13:11 > 0:13:13for each of us a year.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Now one London council is considering whether to stop
0:13:16 > 0:13:18paying the first three days of sick leave for anyone off ill.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24Marc Ashdown has the story.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30It is the sea not issues and hot toddy, when most of us at some point
0:13:30 > 0:13:35swap the cold commute for a warm duvet, but taking a day off work for
0:13:35 > 0:13:38illness may prove costly in Killington where the council is
0:13:38 > 0:13:44looking at stopping some sick pay. It is bad if they took it out your
0:13:44 > 0:13:48wages, you should get sick pay, if you are sick, it is not your fault.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53You cannot control being sick, it can happen any time, and if you have
0:13:53 > 0:13:58kids behind you, what are you going to do?The council said they are in
0:13:58 > 0:14:03a consultation. One proposal is for sick pay to follow the first, second
0:14:03 > 0:14:09or third day of absence, saving up to £720,000 a year. It might
0:14:09 > 0:14:13surprise you that statutory sick pay only takes in after four consecutive
0:14:13 > 0:14:18days off. Anything before that is discretionary, so it is legal for an
0:14:18 > 0:14:23employer to deduct money from your salary for anything up to three
0:14:23 > 0:14:28consecutive days off six. The London Assembly member for the area, also a
0:14:28 > 0:14:34GP, thinks it is short-sighted.If there is so much sick leave for
0:14:34 > 0:14:39minor illnesses, you need to think about what that is about and whether
0:14:39 > 0:14:43you are looking after your employees, are they under stress,
0:14:43 > 0:14:49are you adding further stress, this doesn't sound sensible.Since 2014,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52businesses have not been able to reclaim sick pay from the state, so
0:14:52 > 0:15:02in the private sector it is now as common for there to be no short-term
0:15:02 > 0:15:08sickbay.Absence is very costly, they may need temporary cover,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11potentially lost revenue, so businesses need to take action to
0:15:11 > 0:15:16try and minimise the impact of absence.Research indicates this
0:15:16 > 0:15:20will have a disproportionately large impact on women. We know the public
0:15:20 > 0:15:24sector employs a large number of low-paid women, that women in the
0:15:24 > 0:15:27public sector have poorer health and bear the burden of childcare and
0:15:27 > 0:15:31elderly relative care. They are creating a perverse incentive for
0:15:31 > 0:15:36people to come into work when they are not safe to do their jobs.This
0:15:36 > 0:15:41could affect nearly 3000 council workers here, but other employers
0:15:41 > 0:15:44will no doubt be watching carefully.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Still to come this Monday evening...
0:15:48 > 0:15:53A chilly night in south-west London, but some are brave enough to do some
0:15:53 > 0:15:59athletics training at the Sir Mo running track, named Sports
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Personality of the Year last night, we will speak to those who know him
0:16:02 > 0:16:07best.And I am at Saint Catherine's docks, seeing some beautiful
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Christmas lights, I may not be able to see the hand in front of my face
0:16:11 > 0:16:19tomorrow, a full forecast later.Are
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Before that though - she says it's a wonderful privilege
0:16:23 > 0:16:24in a vibrant world city.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The Right Reverend Sarah Mullally has been announced as the next
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Bishop of London - and the first woman
0:16:29 > 0:16:30to ever be appointed.
0:16:30 > 0:16:40Our religious affairs correspondent Martin Bashir reports.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It wasn't the congregation at the cathedral but students at the
0:16:44 > 0:16:47secondary school who had the first opportunity to meet with the new
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Bishop of London. A nurse by training and profession, her
0:16:52 > 0:16:57appointment as the 133rd Bishop of London marks an historic move
0:16:57 > 0:17:01towards gender equality and means that a woman now holds one of the
0:17:01 > 0:17:05three most senior positions in the Church of England.London is a
0:17:05 > 0:17:09diverse place, and therefore it is right that we represent the
0:17:09 > 0:17:13diversity of this city.The diocese of London is one of the few areas
0:17:13 > 0:17:17where the Church of England is growing. But it also has a
0:17:17 > 0:17:21formidable presence of conservatives, both from the Anglo
0:17:21 > 0:17:27catholic and evangelical traditions who disapprove of women priests.For
0:17:27 > 0:17:30those that can't accept my ordination as either a Bishop or a
0:17:30 > 0:17:34priest because I am a woman, I say to them, I fully respect their
0:17:34 > 0:17:40theological position. And my question to them always is, how can
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I enable their ministry to flourish? Other church leaders are believed
0:17:43 > 0:17:48that Bishop Sarah does not support any changes to the practice of
0:17:48 > 0:17:52marriage in church, solely between a man and a woman.I think it would be
0:17:52 > 0:17:55very regrettable if the Church ever moved into that position, because I
0:17:55 > 0:17:58think it would undermine its traditional teaching on marriage,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and I was delighted that Bishop Sarah said she stood by the
0:18:01 > 0:18:07traditional teaching of the church. Bishop of London are traditionally
0:18:07 > 0:18:11made dean of the chapels royal. Churches like St George's Day Chapel
0:18:11 > 0:18:14in Windsor. This raises the prospect of Bishop Sarah at the royal
0:18:14 > 0:18:19wedding. Is there any possibility that you might physio at the wedding
0:18:19 > 0:18:23of Prince Harry and the Meghan Markle?I haven't even officially
0:18:23 > 0:18:27become the Bishop of London yet. There are many parts of my role that
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I have yet to discover. At the moment I just want to celebrate with
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Prince Harry and Megan and my prayers go with them in their time
0:18:35 > 0:18:41head. Bishop Sarah will now prepare for her installation at St Paul's
0:18:41 > 0:18:48Cathedral, which is likely to take pace in June next year.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Fail to pay the congestion charge from the New Year and you'll
0:18:52 > 0:18:55face a bigger fine - that's the warning to
0:18:55 > 0:18:57drivers in central London.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00The penalty is going up from £65 £80.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06As Tolu Adayoye reports.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08A tougher deterrent for rule-breakers or a way
0:19:08 > 0:19:10of punishing honest motorists who make a mistake?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Whichever way you see it, if you fail to pay the congestion
0:19:13 > 0:19:14charge, the fine is going up.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The amount due is rising from £65 to £80.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22If you don't pay quickly enough, that goes up from £130 to £160.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24In the last five years, the number of people being issued
0:19:25 > 0:19:27the fines has been rising.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31And TfL says that's a clear sign the penalties are just
0:19:31 > 0:19:36And TfL says that's a clear sign the penalties just
0:19:36 > 0:19:37aren't put people off.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But critics argue it shows the current system is too tough
0:19:40 > 0:19:41for those who already can't afford it.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44It's not just the hike in the fine that's the concern,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46it's everything else toppled on for small businesses.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's the cost of doing business going up.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50So, this is now going from £130 to £160.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52But when you consider that small businesses,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54the cost of rent and rates is 30% of their their turnover,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57the cost of rent and rates is 30% of their turnover,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00they've got employment costs, there are now T charges coming in,
0:20:00 > 0:20:01low emission zone, ultra-low emission zone...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03It's just another cost of doing business in the capital.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Hello, how can I help you...?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07But maybe it's not just the system that's changing.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10This small business in Elstree has to deliver computer equipment
0:20:10 > 0:20:11into central London.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12But the way it works now means travelling
0:20:13 > 0:20:14is less and less important.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I've got a phone that will ring either on my mobile
0:20:16 > 0:20:18phone, on the computer, or a phone like this.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20I can work from anywhere.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22The congestion fine rises on 2nd January -
0:20:22 > 0:20:25just one way TfL says it wants to make London safer and healthier
0:20:25 > 0:20:33and less dominated by vehicles.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Last night, a shocked Sir Mo Farah won the BBC
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Sports Personality of the Year award.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And for probably the first time in his career, he was
0:20:43 > 0:20:44the rank outsider to win.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46In fact, he wasn't at the star studded ceremony and joined
0:20:46 > 0:20:49the broadcast from the running track at St Mary's University
0:20:49 > 0:20:50in Twickenham named after him.
0:20:50 > 0:20:57That is where we can join our sports reporter Sara Orchard.
0:20:57 > 0:21:04Perhaps understandably quiet behind you, given the weather?It is very
0:21:04 > 0:21:08cold here, there's no two ways about it. And as in a few brave souls
0:21:08 > 0:21:13going through a few moves at the moment. But yes, this is where Sir
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Mo Farah himself actually started out his professional running career
0:21:15 > 0:21:20as later years that built up to those two gold level is at the
0:21:20 > 0:21:25London 2012 Olympic Games. Yes, he was a rank outsider for last night's
0:21:25 > 0:21:29top prize, but that wasn't the only surprise of the evening. There were
0:21:29 > 0:21:32a few other little bits mixed in. In case you missed it, here's what
0:21:32 > 0:21:40happened.It was the highlight of the sporting year, with the
0:21:40 > 0:21:44country's best in their finery. But the show was actually stolen by Mo
0:21:44 > 0:21:51Farah's two-year-old son Hussein. Mo, did you get any of that?!
0:21:51 > 0:21:59Daddy...!Mo, you've been marvellous and we salute you and everything
0:21:59 > 0:22:03you've done in your career! It is clear to see the legacy of what you
0:22:03 > 0:22:08have in your life, your wonderful family, you're at the Sir Mo Farah
0:22:08 > 0:22:11track. People might think you have gone for an easier life but
0:22:11 > 0:22:16obviously... Bye-bye!This was still at the start of the show. The winner
0:22:16 > 0:22:21would be announced later. Mo was one of ten nominees after a year that
0:22:21 > 0:22:24had seen him win yet another World Championship title and become a
0:22:24 > 0:22:34knight of the realm. However, when his name was read out, he couldn't
0:22:34 > 0:22:52believe it.Mo Farah...Please don't tell me he's gone to bed!The line
0:22:52 > 0:22:56only restored after the show had finish to, but shock was still real!
0:22:56 > 0:23:03I can't believe I won it! Anything is possible in life, if you believe
0:23:03 > 0:23:10in it, work at it and keep grafting and grafting, anything is possible.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Well, the shock is now over four Mo Farah, and I are now joined by
0:23:13 > 0:23:19someone who knows him very well, the director of sport here at St Mary's
0:23:19 > 0:23:22University, Andrew Reed Smith. Were you surprised last night?Not at
0:23:22 > 0:23:27all. It was absolutely wonderful, everybody at St Mary's is very proud
0:23:27 > 0:23:31of Mo and delighted to see him get the award. Although he was shocked,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36clearly it means a lot to him.What were his highlights in 2017?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Obviously defending his titles in Rio. I thought the World
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Championships performance was it about his best on the track. Seeing
0:23:42 > 0:23:46him knighted, naming the track after him in February was a wonderful
0:23:46 > 0:23:51moment here at St Mary's University, all culminating in last night. It
0:23:51 > 0:23:55was richly deserved, it's been incredible.You actually ran here
0:23:55 > 0:23:58the endurance performance coaching centre and Mo was one of the
0:23:58 > 0:24:05founding athletes - how much of a legacy had his left?We built from a
0:24:05 > 0:24:11small base of two athletes, one of which was Mo. Lots of GB athletes
0:24:11 > 0:24:16performing at London, Rio and the world Champs, all inspired by Mo. On
0:24:16 > 0:24:21the track we have local community athletics clubs, and local schools
0:24:21 > 0:24:27so, a great legacy.Thank you so much for having us down here this
0:24:27 > 0:24:32evening. Mo does come and train here sometimes. And don't think that you
0:24:32 > 0:24:36will not see him running any more because he is taking up the
0:24:36 > 0:24:41marathon.And his son stealing the show - any parent must know how he
0:24:41 > 0:24:43feels!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Let's get a check on the weather - and Elizabeth is down
0:24:46 > 0:24:49at St Katharine Docks, where it's looking festive.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54at St Katharine Docks, where it's looking festive.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Yes, it certainly is, and even I have got my thermals on tonight, it
0:24:58 > 0:25:02is absolutely freezing. But it is also very pretty indeed down here.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06We have got lots of Christmas lights, and it is a real calm,
0:25:06 > 0:25:12relaxing atmosphere, much more relaxing than such right or Regent
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Street when the really busy at this time of year. There is a lovely
0:25:16 > 0:25:20anchor just a back mean all lit up, Christmas tree over the water and
0:25:20 > 0:25:26with the water it is all reflected. Really very beautiful indeed. Some
0:25:26 > 0:25:30nice flats over there, over the tops of the flats you can see the tops of
0:25:30 > 0:25:36the skyscrapers. So, it really feels like London here. I don't think we
0:25:36 > 0:25:40will be seeing the tops of any skyscrapers tomorrow morning! It
0:25:40 > 0:25:47will be a real pea soup of a fog forming just about everywhere
0:25:47 > 0:25:51tomorrow morning. And that could last for Match Of The Day. We have
0:25:51 > 0:25:57got a Met Office weather warning out for the fog. It is the perfect
0:25:57 > 0:25:59recipe for it and it will form really quite extensively tomorrow
0:25:59 > 0:26:05morning. So, if you're travelling somewhere, if you're flying, check
0:26:05 > 0:26:09with your airline and be careful out on the roads. Very, very poor
0:26:09 > 0:26:13visibility for a good time. You can keep up-to-date with BBC London News
0:26:13 > 0:26:18tomorrow morning. Some of this will be actually freezing fog I suspect,
0:26:18 > 0:26:31and temperatures will be dipping to -3 in rural spots. Tomorrow, poor
0:26:31 > 0:26:34visibility on many of our roads for a good while, so Liz be careful out
0:26:34 > 0:26:40there. It will gradually start to lift and clear, but it may not be
0:26:40 > 0:26:45until the afternoon for many areas. And for some places it could even
0:26:45 > 0:26:49stick around for most of the day. That's most likely towards
0:26:49 > 0:26:54south-eastern areas of the capital. Temperatures very, very dependent on
0:26:54 > 0:26:59this fog Ference. Up towards the north-west, where we get some
0:26:59 > 0:27:07clearance, temperatures could get as high as seven Celsius. But where the
0:27:07 > 0:27:11fog stays it will be hovering around freezing. Things do get better for
0:27:11 > 0:27:16the rest of the week. We've got high pressure just sat to the south of
0:27:16 > 0:27:20us, and that's going to dominate the weather. Turning milder on choose
0:27:20 > 0:27:23day, may be some hill fog around on Wednesday, but look at these
0:27:23 > 0:27:29temperatures, getting up to 10-11 for much of the rest of the week.
0:27:29 > 0:27:40Christmas week, you will have to watch later in the evening. Keep
0:27:40 > 0:27:43up-to-date with the travel updates in our breakfast bulletin tomorrow
0:27:43 > 0:27:48morning. I will be back at half past ten. Have a lovely evening.
