0:00:00 > 0:00:07So it's goodbye from me.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Tonight on BBC London News:

0:00:08 > 0:00:12An undercover investigation.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16I don't think it's real, man. Nothing in this shop is made out of

0:00:16 > 0:00:17an animal.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20We reveal how real animal fur is wrongly being sold

0:00:20 > 0:00:27as fake fur at shops and stalls across London.

0:00:27 > 0:00:37None of these are being labelled as being made of animal fur.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39I think the parallel is if vegetarian burgers, if they found

0:00:39 > 0:00:42that were made with real meat, there would be an outcry.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Now a Parliamentary inquiry is launched and our

0:00:44 > 0:00:45investigation will be used as evidence.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Thousands of passengers face travel disruption

0:00:47 > 0:00:49after a unexploded bomb closes City Airport -

0:00:49 > 0:00:51residents in the area also forced to leave their homes.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55They've obviously got it under control, otherwise they would move

0:00:55 > 0:00:59us all out, and being in London, you know, World War II bombs, you will

0:00:59 > 0:01:03find them wherever they are going to be digging up stuff.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05A controversial shake-up of the way London is policed

0:01:05 > 0:01:07as the force needs to save money.

0:01:07 > 0:01:13What are you doing here? This is my little sister, Sandra.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17And on a council estate near Tower Bridge some household

0:01:17 > 0:01:27names gather for their latest film - we'll be speaking to them.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Good evening and welcome to the programme.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm Victoria Hollins.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34A BBC London investigation has revealed how real

0:01:34 > 0:01:42animal fur is wrongly being sold as fake.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44This programme secretly filmed at shops and market

0:01:44 > 0:01:47stalls across London - we were told the garments had

0:01:47 > 0:01:48synthetic fur on them.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51But in fact tests show mink, rabbit and fox were being sold.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Animal rights charities say imported animal fur is being farmed on such

0:01:54 > 0:01:56a scale abroad that it's cheaper to buy than faux fur,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58leaving some consumers 'sleepwalking' into buying

0:01:58 > 0:01:59the real product.

0:01:59 > 0:02:09Alex Bushill investigates.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Our investigation starts here, Camden market, one of the most

0:02:16 > 0:02:17famous markets in the world.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Armed with a secret camera, we joined the crowds

0:02:20 > 0:02:21looking for a purchase.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22A coat with a fur trim.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Definitely fake fur, yeah?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah, fake one, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Because of the price it's a fake one, of course.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Yeah, but I don't want to buy it if it's real fur.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32No, no, no, real is very expensive, sir.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Real is very expensive.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34100%, yeah?

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Yeah, 100%.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36100% fake fur?

0:02:36 > 0:02:37110%.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39This is the coat that we've just bought.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41It even has a label on it saying 100% polyester.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43So, no animal fur here then?

0:02:43 > 0:02:44Only one way to be sure.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Doctor Phil Greaves is the country's leading microfibre expert

0:02:47 > 0:02:51so we asked him to run all the tests needed to find out for sure if this

0:02:51 > 0:02:52was real fur or faux fur.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53What is it?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54It's animal fibre.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Because it's got the structural features that only

0:02:56 > 0:02:59animal fibres have.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's got an external area of scales, internal structure,

0:03:01 > 0:03:02pigment within the fibres.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05It is of two coats and the fibres taper towards their tips.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06So that's 100% certain?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08100%.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11In all, we bought garments from 17 stalls and shops

0:03:11 > 0:03:15from across London, from Stratford to Shepherd's Bush market.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16From bobble hats, to key rings and shoes with pom-poms.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Again and again, we were sold fake fur that turned out

0:03:19 > 0:03:21actually to be real fur.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26I don't think it's real, man.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27I know that.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Nothing in this shop is made out of animal.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Fake fur.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34So it looks real, but they're is not real.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36So it looks real, but they're not real.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39And again in Shepherd's Bush market.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Take me to court.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Take you to court, yeah?

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Take me to court.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Take me to court, but it's not, 100%.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49And then in Stratford, again we were misled.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53This time the fur she sold us even had traces of cat.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55This is synthetic, it's not real.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00Real can't be for this price.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's interesting how many of those stallholders said at that price

0:04:03 > 0:04:04it has to be fake fur.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Real fur, they say, is expensive.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, not any more.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11According to the Humane Society, an animal rights charity,

0:04:11 > 0:04:18that is a common misconception.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21They say in fact real fur can now be so much cheaper

0:04:21 > 0:04:22than sympathetic fur.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I think a lot of people will think that real fur is expensive

0:04:25 > 0:04:28and would look at a £10 bobble hat and not think for a second

0:04:28 > 0:04:30that it could be real fur.

0:04:30 > 0:04:40And we just encourage people to be careful not

0:04:40 > 0:04:40to sleepwalk into buying real fur.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42The charity's even gone undercover themselves,

0:04:42 > 0:04:43filming this footage of what they describe

0:04:43 > 0:04:45as battery fur Farms in China.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47In the cages, row after row of raccoons dogs.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49The Humane Society has long campaigned to highlight the issue

0:04:49 > 0:04:52of cheap imported real fur, which, they say, is now produced

0:04:52 > 0:04:55to such an industrial scale at farms like this that the price has dropped

0:04:55 > 0:04:56to rock bottom.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00So, back in London, what of those who had mis-sold to us?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02We asked everyone who sold us real fur as faux fur

0:05:02 > 0:05:05to explain themselves.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Some simply didn't comment, like these two, so we don't know

0:05:08 > 0:05:11if they themselves were victims, duped by their suppliers.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Others like this lady said she was shocked and that she relied

0:05:14 > 0:05:18on the label and was assured by her supplier it wasn't real fur.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20She's now removed the items from sale.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Others like this stallholders said they'd wrongly assumed

0:05:23 > 0:05:26it was man-made, and had never intended to mislead.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Which all leads to one inescapable thought.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33If so many of the shops and stalls that sell fur don't really know

0:05:33 > 0:05:36what they're selling, how on earth are we, the consumer,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39to know what the fur trim on our coat or the bobble on our hat

0:05:39 > 0:05:42is really made of?

0:05:42 > 0:05:45This report will now be submitted as evidence to a Parliamentary

0:05:45 > 0:05:53inquiry looking at the issue.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Lots more to come, including...

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Three London aid workers share their first hand accounts

0:05:57 > 0:06:07of working inside world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Up to 16,000 passengers have had their travel

0:06:10 > 0:06:13plans disrupted after City Airport was closed for the day

0:06:13 > 0:06:15because of an unexploded Second World War bomb.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17The 500 kilogramme device was discovered in the Thames,

0:06:17 > 0:06:22close to the runway.

0:06:22 > 0:06:28Work to make it safe will take until tomorrow.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Some residents have been forced to leave their homes

0:06:30 > 0:06:31while it's carried out.

0:06:31 > 0:06:37Tolu Adeoye has spent the day nearby.

0:06:37 > 0:06:43Grounded. Every single flight out of London City Airport, following the

0:06:43 > 0:06:47discovery of a World War II bomb nearby. The 500 kilograms German

0:06:47 > 0:06:51device was found by divers at the King George V doctoring work to

0:06:51 > 0:06:57expand the airport at around 5am yesterday morning. By 10am the

0:06:57 > 0:07:01airport was shut. Passengers were told they could not travel today but

0:07:01 > 0:07:04still we met some arriving at the airport who hadn't heard the news.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09Now we tried to go to the airport, but we were informed in now that

0:07:09 > 0:07:16there is no way inside, because there is... I don't know!The

0:07:16 > 0:07:20unusual sight there of a completely empty runway. Flights normally would

0:07:20 > 0:07:25be taking off and landing around every half an hour but 261 have been

0:07:25 > 0:07:30cancelled. Some have been moved to neighbouring airports, Southend and

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Stansted, but still widespread disruption for passengers. Today the

0:07:34 > 0:07:38airport CEO apologised to the thousands affected by the problems.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Yes, there has been a lot of disruption and that is very

0:07:42 > 0:07:46unfortunate and obviously we apologise for that, whoever we are

0:07:46 > 0:07:53working very closely with the Met and the Navy and felt it was the

0:07:53 > 0:07:56right and responsible thing to do, to effectively close the airport and

0:07:56 > 0:07:59have this device, the unexploded bomb, removed from the dock.The

0:07:59 > 0:08:03disruption caused wasn't limited to air travel. A 240 metre cord and was

0:08:03 > 0:08:10put in place by the authorities, affecting the DLR, with some roads

0:08:10 > 0:08:13also closed off. The exclusion zone meant some residents were advised to

0:08:13 > 0:08:16leave their home and moved to emergency accommodation, should they

0:08:16 > 0:08:21wish to.If it was that bad they would have moved us all out, so I

0:08:21 > 0:08:25don't think it is that major because the obviously have it under control

0:08:25 > 0:08:30otherwise they would move us all out, and being in London, World War

0:08:30 > 0:08:33II bombs, you will find them wherever they are going to be

0:08:33 > 0:08:37digging up stuff.Indeed thousands of bombs were dropped on London

0:08:37 > 0:08:41during the Blitz. They do turn up from time to time. This one was

0:08:41 > 0:08:45discovered in Brent last year. The police and the Navy are working to

0:08:45 > 0:08:49remove the latest discovery. Unfortunately there are a lot that

0:08:49 > 0:08:53still remain from previous wars. Complacency certainly doesn't exist

0:08:53 > 0:08:57within the military and the Royal Navy ensures that every device,

0:08:57 > 0:09:01every bomb, and every munition is treated in the same way, so

0:09:01 > 0:09:07therefore to ensure the public is safe at all times.Up to 16,000

0:09:07 > 0:09:10passengers are thought to have been affected by today's closure.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15Thousands will be hoping the airport is up and running by tomorrow

0:09:15 > 0:09:21morning. Tolu is at the airport now with the latest. Tolu?Yes, outside

0:09:21 > 0:09:27are very much still close London pot-mac station. Still cordons in

0:09:27 > 0:09:31place and in fact more people are being advised to leave their homes

0:09:31 > 0:09:34as the police and Navy carry on with this operation. We understand the

0:09:34 > 0:09:38bomb is being moved onto a boat and moved away from the docks this

0:09:38 > 0:09:41evening but there should be good news in the morning. The airport

0:09:41 > 0:09:45expects to be open as normal, which will be welcome for many including

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Tottenham fans who were hoping to travel to Milan, head of the

0:09:49 > 0:09:58Champions League match against Juventus tomorrow, but they say this

0:09:58 > 0:10:01disruption was necessary to make sure people are kept safe. The

0:10:01 > 0:10:03advice is still to check before you travel from airport back tomorrow.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Tolu, thanks

0:10:04 > 0:10:06A major shake-up of the way the capital is policed

0:10:06 > 0:10:08was announced today as the Met warned of significant

0:10:08 > 0:10:12financial challenges.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Officer numbers are expected to drop to as low as 27,000.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18The main reform will see 12 large police units replacing

0:10:18 > 0:10:20the old system where each borough had its own team.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Karl Mercer reports.

0:10:24 > 0:10:34She's been the head of the Met for less than a year but Cressida Dick

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Passing out parades like this one last April may be one of

0:10:37 > 0:10:39the pleasures of the job, but making cuts certainly isn't.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42And that's what the Met has announced today,

0:10:42 > 0:10:45cutting 1500 jobs and cutting its current structure from 32, to just

0:10:45 > 0:10:4812 borough commands.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50We're trying to position ourselves to operate within

0:10:50 > 0:10:51the budget that we've got.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Clearly there's a big debate around what the

0:10:55 > 0:10:57right number of police officers is for London,

0:10:57 > 0:11:00but in terms of what we're doing now, we're

0:11:00 > 0:11:04making sure that with the number of officers

0:11:04 > 0:11:07we can afford over the coming years, we are able to address

0:11:07 > 0:11:09the priorities that Londoners want us, we believe,

0:11:09 > 0:11:12to address, particularly around violence, and we are able to do that

0:11:12 > 0:11:16within the budget that we have.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18The new setup was trialled in Barking and Dagenham and here,

0:11:18 > 0:11:21as across London, the local police station is set to close

0:11:21 > 0:11:23although it's open at the moment.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25The council leader he says the changes need careful handling.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28The Met are trying to do the best they can do

0:11:28 > 0:11:35with the money they've got.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38They are taking it out of front line services and out the buildings,

0:11:38 > 0:11:40where victims of crime used to go and feel secure.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43The Met's facing tough financial times,

0:11:43 > 0:11:45it must save £325 million in the coming years.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48This move will save just over £70 million of that

0:11:48 > 0:11:49target.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52It says a big drop in police numbers can't be ruled out.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55The difficult decisions the Met have taken today enable them to plan

0:11:55 > 0:11:56for the future with less resources.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59We know there's going to be 30,000 police officers by April and we know

0:11:59 > 0:12:01that by 2021 it could be significantly less.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03We hope that this will future-proof the

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Metropolitan Police Service for the coming years to enable them to

0:12:06 > 0:12:08deliver a better service with less resources.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Scotland Yard has already closed or has plans to close more

0:12:12 > 0:12:15than 100 police stations, leading to fears that the only place left to

0:12:15 > 0:12:17save money is by cutting police numbers.

0:12:17 > 0:12:24We're down to the bone - there's nothing else we can sell and

0:12:24 > 0:12:28I don't think there's any other way we can raise any money, and when you

0:12:28 > 0:12:33talk about the Metropolitan Police, I think about 76% is salary and

0:12:33 > 0:12:35therefore you will have to reduce numbers to fit within the budgetary

0:12:36 > 0:12:37requirements.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39The money challenges for the commission come as the

0:12:39 > 0:12:41capital is facing big challenges over youth and sex crimes.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43She'll be judged on delivering better with less.

0:12:43 > 0:12:50Karl Mercer, BBC London News.

0:12:50 > 0:12:58Next, we head to the world's largest refugee camp

0:12:58 > 0:13:01which is 5000 miles away in Bangladesh.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Three London aid workers travelled there and filmed their efforts

0:13:03 > 0:13:06to help some of the hundreds of thousands of Muslim Rohingya's

0:13:06 > 0:13:08who have fled persecution in their home country.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Chris Rogers has been looking at their video

0:13:10 > 0:13:11diaries piecing together their heart-breaking mission.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13A warning you may find some images distressing.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Our London aid workers are heading into the world's

0:13:15 > 0:13:16largest refugee camp.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18This is home to more than 800,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23Escaping persecution in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28Dr Ramiz Momeni, Genevieve Jones-Hernandez

0:13:28 > 0:13:31and Sarah Wade have travelled the world, helping refugees.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33But nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead.

0:13:33 > 0:13:42All of which they capture on camera.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I've had a few comments here and there, obviously asking if I'm

0:13:45 > 0:13:47doing the right thing, leaving a toddler behind

0:13:47 > 0:13:48for a period of time.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50But ultimately he is surrounded by family, friends.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52I work for a charity because I want to help

0:13:52 > 0:13:54the people who really need it.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Their journey begins and the gateway to the camp where newly arrived

0:13:56 > 0:14:03refugees receive basic aid.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07What it is that they receive here is a bag with a bucket

0:14:07 > 0:14:09and I guess some building essentials.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11But the Humanitas Charity are heading deep into the camp,

0:14:11 > 0:14:15a two-hour trek, where there is no aid, to set up a medical centre.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Word spreads, help has arrived.

0:14:17 > 0:14:25The team prioritises women and children.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Their mother could not make the trip so she had to pass her baby

0:14:28 > 0:14:30onto her bigger baby to bring here.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34The baby is ten and a half days and hasn't been breast-fed.

0:14:34 > 0:14:34On

0:14:34 > 0:14:40There are so many babies, newborns, don't have any food, starving.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43She was prescribed vitamins, but just for her, not for the baby.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Honestly, it's like the baby's...

0:14:44 > 0:14:53Dying.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56So we've just organised for her to go and get

0:14:56 > 0:14:59referred because she needs to go to a hospital,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02and for that she need to have her ID card.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04They are just in incredible pain with these sores

0:15:04 > 0:15:07all over their heads and really dry and cracked skin

0:15:07 > 0:15:16all over their body.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18So we were literally rubbing them down with vaseline.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21This is a newborn baby, born yesterday and they tied

0:15:21 > 0:15:23the umbilical cord with just a piece of rope.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Today, like, it's been nonstop.

0:15:26 > 0:15:26the

0:15:26 > 0:15:34They're shivering, coughing, throwing up.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I think we were expected to turn up and to be working alongside a lot

0:15:38 > 0:15:47more organisations or volunteers.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50We worked in the Syrian refugee crisis and it was full

0:15:50 > 0:15:52of organisations and volunteers and people on the ground

0:15:52 > 0:15:54and I think we expected this to be slightly similar,

0:15:54 > 0:15:55and it isn't.

0:15:55 > 0:16:02Her pulse is very low.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05We're just rushing to the hospital with these newly arrived Rohingyas

0:16:05 > 0:16:09with severe dehydration.

0:16:09 > 0:16:15There is absolute lack of aid for these people.

0:16:15 > 0:16:25Every day, more refugees arrive, in biblical numbers.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27All of these people, tired, sick, hungry,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29and yet to reach their final destination in this camp

0:16:29 > 0:16:30and set up home.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32After three weeks and around 80 patients a day,

0:16:32 > 0:16:34it's time to head home.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's not so much as a difficult thing to be here.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39I think it would be more of a difficult thing to leave,

0:16:39 > 0:16:51knowing that we are leaving these people in such a dire situation.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56You can see more on that story at 7:30pm on Inside Out.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00Still to come.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Are you scared of dying?It is one thing being scared of dying, it is

0:17:04 > 0:17:07another to be scared of living.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Some of Britain's best known actors gather on a council

0:17:10 > 0:17:12estate in east London for their latest film.

0:17:12 > 0:17:18After a day of sparkling winter sunshine, today things look a bit

0:17:18 > 0:17:22different tomorrow, cloud and rain from the West, strong wind. The

0:17:22 > 0:17:25details are on the way.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Transport for London's bike hire scheme expanded today into Brixton.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35But it now has hi-tech rivals on the streets.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Bikes that don't need docking stations and you

0:17:37 > 0:17:40unlock with your phone.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43And they have big expansion plans.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45So what is the future of bike hire in London?

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Here's our transport correspondent Tom Edwards.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54This is how you can now easily see Brixton, by hire bike.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Lambeth Council has paid £700,000 for seven docking

0:17:57 > 0:18:01stations and 200 bikes.

0:18:01 > 0:18:06This is now the southernmost tip of the TFL scheme.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09What this does is to give them access to inexpensive cycle hire.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Brilliant.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15They come in, have a coffee, have more than a coffee,

0:18:15 > 0:18:20they can lock their bikes and move onto next station.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23So we see the bikes as a big feature that's going to cause people

0:18:23 > 0:18:27to dwell, as we expect it to bring new visitors in.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32The green line shows you within that area where you can hire bikes.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35But the bike hire market is changing due to these.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Dockless hire bikes.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40You use an app to activate the bike and they don't

0:18:40 > 0:18:44need docking stations, you can leave them anywhere.

0:18:44 > 0:18:50There are three different schemes in London which cost councils nothing.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54We don't require any funding from TFL or from the boroughs

0:18:54 > 0:18:57so the recent expansion of the TFL scheme into Brixton has cost

0:18:57 > 0:18:59£700,000 to council taxpayers.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01We don't require anything so that money could be used for other

0:19:01 > 0:19:04cycling infrastructure or cycling initiatives around London.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08The first dockless project, oBike, had their bikes seized

0:19:08 > 0:19:10after they didn't talk to the councils.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13They're no longer in London.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16City Hall, though, thinks there is room for both types of scheme.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's fantastic that other operators are coming in.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23The caveat to that is that they have to provide a good experience

0:19:23 > 0:19:24for people using their bikes.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26We want people to enjoy cycling around the city.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29If it's not a good experience then people won't do it again.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34It also has to be delivered safely.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37We don't want bikes cluttering the pavements and getting in the way

0:19:37 > 0:19:39of traffic and causing problems.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42These dockless schemes are expanding rapidly so you'll see more

0:19:42 > 0:19:44dockless bikes in London, part of the drive to get more

0:19:44 > 0:19:54Londoners onto two wheels.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03The inside of the roof collapsed down to the basement. Builders had

0:20:03 > 0:20:06been working on the property although no one was inside at the

0:20:06 > 0:20:10time. No reports of injuries but the houses on either side were

0:20:10 > 0:20:12evacuated.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Currently less than 10% of football coaches in London are women.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18And far fewer girls than boys play the sport.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, now the search is on for 100 new female coaches,

0:20:21 > 0:20:25to show girls that football is for them too.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27From Wembley Emma Jones can tell us more.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31So here are a few facts for you.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Almost 90% of all boys in London between the age of 14

0:20:34 > 0:20:36and 15 play football.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40In contrast, only 35% of girls of that age do,

0:20:40 > 0:20:44and of all the coaches in London, almost 7% are women.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Well, that's something the London FA is hoping to change

0:20:46 > 0:20:49here at Wembley today.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52There are a number of perceptions about football being for boys,

0:20:52 > 0:20:56and it's a boys' sport, but by creating female role models

0:20:56 > 0:20:59and coaches and showing the opportunity for girls to be able

0:20:59 > 0:21:02to play together in a community environment led by female coaches

0:21:02 > 0:21:04is a real opportunity to break down those barriers.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07The search is now on for 100 new female coaches in London.

0:21:07 > 0:21:13The aim?

0:21:13 > 0:21:17To get them to coach 1000 girls between the age of seven and 11,

0:21:17 > 0:21:20and hopefully teach them that it's OK to be both a girl

0:21:20 > 0:21:21and a footballer.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24However many great role models we've got, we still have young girls

0:21:24 > 0:21:26in primary schools telling us, you know, I'm not supposed

0:21:26 > 0:21:29to get hot and sweaty, and boys won't like me

0:21:29 > 0:21:32if I look like that.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34And, you know, whatever is causing that, it's

0:21:34 > 0:21:38something we need to address.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42London's female football fans don't have to look far for inspiration.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Chelsea's Emma Hayes was the first manager to lift

0:21:46 > 0:21:50the women's FA Cup at Wembley, while Sarah Wiltshire,

0:21:50 > 0:21:55who also plays under a female coach at Tottenham Hotspur Ladies,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57says the idea that football is a boys' game is changing.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I don't think it's like that now.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03I see, you know, young boys not thinking anything of young

0:22:03 > 0:22:05girls playing football, and I think that's really really

0:22:05 > 0:22:09good, and I think that it will only get better.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12And these new coaching courses offered by the London FA are just

0:22:12 > 0:22:15part of a larger drive to get more women and girls into football

0:22:16 > 0:22:17across the capital.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Emma Jones, BBC London News.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23A clutch of Britain's finest actors star in a new film -

0:22:23 > 0:22:29shot in part - on a council estate near Tower Bridge.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Finding Your Feet stars Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and Joanna Lumley among others and its about a middle-aged snob -

0:22:34 > 0:22:37who finds romance in the most unlikely place.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Wendy Hurrell has more.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42In her posh Surrey home, Sandra puts on a party

0:22:42 > 0:22:44for her husband's retirement and looks forward to

0:22:44 > 0:22:46a new life with him.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49I've been planning our retirement for the last 35 years.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Except those plans come to an abrupt stop.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54What's going on?

0:22:54 > 0:22:55We were just...

0:22:55 > 0:23:01It's not what it looks like.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03So, Imelda Staunton's character moves in with her sister,

0:23:03 > 0:23:05living in quite different surroundings on an East

0:23:05 > 0:23:10London council estate.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12And there, Biff, played by Celia Imrie, convinces her

0:23:12 > 0:23:14to join in on her dance classes.

0:23:14 > 0:23:23They eventually lead to a flash mob performance in central London.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26We are all of an age where, you know, you'd think we wouldn't be

0:23:26 > 0:23:29doing stuff like that but there we were, out

0:23:29 > 0:23:37in Piccadilly Circus at midnight in December, frozen.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Sort of like guerilla filming, we went out and started dancing.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40"Go, do it now!"

0:23:40 > 0:23:43It will rain any minute, which it did.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45How important did you think it is that films such

0:23:45 > 0:23:48as this one are made, when there are central female

0:23:48 > 0:23:49characters of a more mature age?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51You've cornered the market.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52I'm trying to get into her market!

0:23:52 > 0:24:00Her audience, I need her audience!

0:24:00 > 0:24:04I watched again, one of my most favourite films, All About Eve,

0:24:04 > 0:24:10and I saw Betty Davis being interviewed before

0:24:10 > 0:24:14and she was saying that her life was, you know, parallel to the film.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Because a woman of 40, she's just turned 40,

0:24:16 > 0:24:20three months ago, that's it.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23For women, for actresses in those days, that was it.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27So I'm thrilled to be able to say that I think

0:24:27 > 0:24:36things are changing, I really do.

0:24:36 > 0:24:42Finding Your Feet is in in cinemas from next Friday.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Go on, give it to him!

0:24:45 > 0:24:50What a cast. Now the weather, it has been a lovely day?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53What a cast. Now the weather, it has been a lovely day?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Yes, winter sunshine all around and I wish it would last two tomorrow.

0:24:56 > 0:25:02Something different on the way. This victory from our weather watcher in

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Twickenham, what a beautiful end to the day with those largely sunny

0:25:05 > 0:25:11skies. This frontal system in the Atlantic is going to change things,

0:25:11 > 0:25:17sliding from the West, bringing rain and ahead of that, notice the

0:25:17 > 0:25:19isobars squeezing together showing that the wind is starting to

0:25:19 > 0:25:24strengthen. The weather front is waiting in the wings. At the moment

0:25:24 > 0:25:28it isn't too bad, some clear skies, a few showers from the South as we

0:25:28 > 0:25:34go through the evening. Most of them will stay to the south of the

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Thames. It is going to turn quite chilly, a widespread frost despite

0:25:38 > 0:25:42those increasingly strong southerly winds. Tomorrow if you are out and

0:25:42 > 0:25:46about early there will be some sunshine but the wind will be

0:25:46 > 0:25:51strengthening all the time, cloud from the West and then rain. Hints

0:25:51 > 0:25:55of something wintry over the high ground, maybe some sleet with the

0:25:55 > 0:26:02rain. It will be cold. But something brighter from the West as we go to

0:26:02 > 0:26:06the end of the afternoon. Wednesday looks very similar, bright start and

0:26:06 > 0:26:11the cloud thickening up, winter strengthening and rain from the

0:26:11 > 0:26:15West. A hint of something wintry over the higher ground. Temperatures

0:26:15 > 0:26:25generally a bit higher, 6-8 degrees. Further ahead, on the face of it,

0:26:25 > 0:26:27fairly unsettled, low-pressure driving the weather as we head

0:26:27 > 0:26:31towards the end of the week but we'll see cold air over northern

0:26:31 > 0:26:36parts of the country but in the south, a bit milder. Wet weather for

0:26:36 > 0:26:40the next couple of things and then things look more settled and dryer

0:26:40 > 0:26:43and temperatures may get up into double digits. Just some rain to get

0:26:43 > 0:26:45through first.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Now the main headlines.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55The Deputy Chief Executive of Oxfam has resigned,

0:26:55 > 0:26:57following allegations that the charity tried

0:26:57 > 0:27:00to cover up a sex scandal involving its aid workers.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02The Government has threatened to cut millions of pounds of funding.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04The three British tourists killed in a helicopter crash

0:27:04 > 0:27:07in the Grand Canyon have been named.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Becky Dobson, Stuart Hill and Jason Hill died on Saturday.

0:27:09 > 0:27:16Three other British passengers are still in hospital.

0:27:16 > 0:27:21That's it, I'll be back later for the ten o'clock news. For now,

0:27:21 > 0:27:25whatever you're doing, have a lovely evening. Goodbye.
