0:00:04 > 0:00:08On BBC London:
0:00:08 > 0:00:15Struggling to keep the capital safe.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Met warns it faces further cuts to police numbers.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21They have sold of the buildings, close down police stations, got rid
0:00:21 > 0:00:26of many police staff, reduced the amount of community officers, all
0:00:26 > 0:00:30that is left now is police officers. The government claims extra money
0:00:30 > 0:00:36has been made available for the Met. Also tonight, the 13-year-old killed
0:00:36 > 0:00:39after being taken for a ride in a Ferrari which crashed.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43The driver denies death by careless driving.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Plus the couple from tooting trying to improve dementia care for the gay

0:00:58 > 0:01:00to light in Surrey.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Picasso was a bit out there for him. So he put it in his sock drawer?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Exactly, he knew it was worth keeping and he put it in his chest
0:01:06 > 0:01:09of drawers.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17A very warm welcome to the programme.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19First tonight - a warning
0:01:19 > 0:01:21from Scotland Yard today -
0:01:21 > 0:01:24that police numbers could fall by as many as 3,000 over the next
0:01:24 > 0:01:25few years if further funding isn't forthcoming.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28A report by the Met, and seen by BBC London -
0:01:28 > 0:01:31also reveals how morale is falling and an admission that the force will
0:01:31 > 0:01:32struggle to keep Londoners safe.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35It comes as the Mayor today confirmed he was investing an extra
0:01:35 > 0:01:40£110 million in the police.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44But even he admits it's not enough to stop officer numbers falling.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48More from our political correspondent Karl Mercer.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The Met police is being stretched, it's dealing with another worrying
0:01:55 > 0:01:59rise in knife crime and has been challenged by a year of terror
0:01:59 > 0:02:02attacks. It's also dealing with a growing population in London, rising
0:02:02 > 0:02:07by 100,000 people a year, while police numbers are falling. Report
0:02:07 > 0:02:10seen by BBC London News aligns the growing pressure the police are
0:02:10 > 0:02:11under.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14This is the report that sets out Scotland Yard's pretty
0:02:14 > 0:02:15stark vision of the future.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Over 30-odd pages it sets out a vision
0:02:18 > 0:02:20of what the coming years will be like without extra
0:02:20 > 0:02:21government funding.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27It warns that unless it gets more money.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Cuts to workforce numbers could be damaging.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It says that
0:02:30 > 0:02:32pressures on its budget mean that it is Struggling to invest
0:02:32 > 0:02:34sufficiently in crime prevention.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36It also outlines the effect that cuts
0:02:36 > 0:02:39and rising crime are having on officers saying that
0:02:39 > 0:02:41a lack of resources is having a worrying
0:02:41 > 0:02:42impact on morale.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46There is also a blunt warning on police numbers.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51The report says that without extra money London could see
0:02:51 > 0:02:52just 27,000 officers by 2022.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57A drop of 3000.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I've been working closely now with the Met police force for the last
0:03:00 > 0:03:04two years. They are not emotive people and don't use this sort of
0:03:04 > 0:03:09language very often. They've made a prediction based upon the cuts they
0:03:09 > 0:03:16are facing. 75% of the Met police budget goes on human beings, on
0:03:16 > 0:03:20police officers. They have cut as much as they can, all that is
0:03:20 > 0:03:23left... They have sold of the buildings, closed police stations,
0:03:23 > 0:03:29got rid of many police staff, they have reduced the amount of community
0:03:29 > 0:03:31support officers. All that is left now is police officers.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33So, what to do?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Well, this document is Scotland Yard's submission
0:03:34 > 0:03:36to something called the Police Remuneration
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Review Body.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Basically, the body that says how much officers should get paid.
0:03:40 > 0:03:47Scotland Yard wants a 3% pay rise for staff and also £2000 extra
0:03:47 > 0:03:49in London weighting - measures it hopes will make the Met
0:03:49 > 0:03:52an attractive place to work.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55We are very clear about some of those morale issues and we talk in
0:03:55 > 0:04:00the document about the fact that pay and rewards is part of that. We hope
0:04:00 > 0:04:04that in the submission that we are taking note of that and trying to do
0:04:04 > 0:04:07something that strikes that difficult balance between being fair
0:04:07 > 0:04:11to our offices and making sure it is something realistic but also
0:04:11 > 0:04:14accepting that that means there are consequences on what money we have
0:04:14 > 0:04:18to spend on police in London.Paying police more may attract more
0:04:18 > 0:04:23recruits but the real sticking point will be over who pays for that pay
0:04:23 > 0:04:25rise. Mork Dom will central government and evermore, or will the
0:04:25 > 0:04:31Met and the mayor have to hand over the cash? We're going to stay with
0:04:31 > 0:04:35policing for a moment because according to an independent
0:04:35 > 0:04:38inspection, 90% of child protection investigations in the capital have
0:04:38 > 0:04:43been unsatisfactory. In some cases children have been left to live with
0:04:43 > 0:04:45paedophiles in London.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48The Met insists it's making progress but points out they dealing
0:04:48 > 0:04:50with a record number of recorded sexual offences committed
0:04:50 > 0:04:52against children.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Chris Rogers has been studying the latest probe commissioned
0:04:53 > 0:04:56by the Home Secretary.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00This is a quarterly report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Fire And Rescue Services and they were ordered by the Home Office
0:05:03 > 0:05:06after inspectors last year found many cases like this were not being
0:05:06 > 0:05:10investigated because of budget cuts, which is what we have been hearing
0:05:10 > 0:05:13about a night. It does highlight that measures have been put in place
0:05:13 > 0:05:17but it is too soon to see if there are any benefits, if they are
0:05:17 > 0:05:22working. Let's the incidents they highlight, in one of them, a
0:05:22 > 0:05:2613-year-old girl called police after a boy blackmailed her online and
0:05:26 > 0:05:30after sending explicit images but it wasn't investigated for 11 days.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Teaches informed police that a seven-year-old was being abused by
0:05:33 > 0:05:38his parents but he wasn't taken into care and continue to be abused but
0:05:38 > 0:05:43four months. Let's the wider picture. Inspectors looked at a
0:05:43 > 0:05:48sample of 214 child protecting cases forced above that, almost 191 were
0:05:48 > 0:05:52judged to be either requiring improvement, or inadequate. The
0:05:52 > 0:05:56backdrop to their staggering figures is that there is a record number of
0:05:56 > 0:06:02crimes like this being reported from paedophilia to online abuse, and
0:06:02 > 0:06:08exportation. 65,000 offences were recorded in 2016, and 2017, and
0:06:08 > 0:06:10children's charities say we need to bear that figure in mind when
0:06:10 > 0:06:15scrutinising the police.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I think there are a multitude of issues that are causing
0:06:18 > 0:06:21this to be so, such as
0:06:21 > 0:06:23an increase in potential reporting of cases of
0:06:23 > 0:06:26child protection cases that
0:06:26 > 0:06:30the police are having to deal with, and part of that, we think,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32is probably because of a real rise in the number
0:06:32 > 0:06:34of cases but also the fallout of things
0:06:34 > 0:06:35like Operation Yewtree, the
0:06:35 > 0:06:37prominence in the news recently of child abuse.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42The police are under pressure, they have had resources
0:06:42 > 0:06:45cuts to the front line, which is making it more difficult
0:06:45 > 0:06:46for them to do their jobs.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49But ultimately we want them to be doing a lot more
0:06:49 > 0:06:51multi-agency working, that is really the key to most
0:06:51 > 0:06:52of those child protection issues.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Some context from a child protection charity. Has the Met responded?They
0:06:54 > 0:06:58say they are pleased the inspectors highlighted that they are making
0:06:58 > 0:07:03significant processes in Samaria -- making significant progress in some
0:07:03 > 0:07:06areas. Yet again they have highlighted the huge scale of the
0:07:06 > 0:07:10crimes they are investigating and the budget cuts they are up against.
0:07:10 > 0:07:17Chris Kamara for now, thank you. Chris Rogers there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Stay with us, coming up later in programme Stay with us,
0:07:20 > 0:07:21coming up later in programme:
0:07:21 > 0:07:24We are looking for people with their phones out and their headphones in
0:07:24 > 0:07:27particular.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29The thieves making a violent career out
0:07:29 > 0:07:30of swiping Londoners' phones.
0:07:30 > 0:07:37They boast it's like "stealing candy from a baby".
0:07:37 > 0:07:40A businessman from Surrey was in court today accused
0:07:40 > 0:07:43of causing a 13 year-old's death through careless driving.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Alexander Worth was thrown from a Ferrari after
0:07:45 > 0:07:49being taken for a ride.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51The driver from Walton-on-Thames said he hadn't been showing off.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Steve Humphrey reports.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Described in court as formidably powerful, the Ferrari F50 that
0:07:56 > 0:08:03crashed was filmed on the day of the tragedy for a promotional video.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Later it was delivered back to a storage unit
0:08:06 > 0:08:08in North Warnborough in
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Hampshire that was visited by the jury and court officials earlier
0:08:10 > 0:08:13this week.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Matthew Cobden, seen here with the red hair, ran the storage
0:08:16 > 0:08:21business, and he offered to give 13-year-old Alexander Worth quick
0:08:21 > 0:08:23business, and he offered to give 13-year-old Alexander Worth a quick
0:08:23 > 0:08:24spin in the car.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27The Ferrari struck a wooden post, was launched into the
0:08:27 > 0:08:30air, and rolled over, throwing out Mr Cobden and Alexander.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Today in court a statement made by Mr Cobden
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and quotes from police interviews were read to the jury.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Mr Cobden said he had used a torch to make
0:08:39 > 0:08:46sure he had put his feet on the right pedals when he first
0:08:46 > 0:08:49got into the Ferrari to move it off a car transporter.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Mr Cobden suffered injuries including a broken rib and
0:09:09 > 0:09:13punctured lung.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Alexander, from Kings Worthy near Winchester, was
0:09:14 > 0:09:17pronounced dead at the scene.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Mr Cobden said it was impossible to express
0:09:19 > 0:09:20in words how terrible he
0:09:20 > 0:09:23felt at what had happened.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25He said he'd sent a message of sorrow and
0:09:25 > 0:09:27condolence to Alexander's parents and was at
0:09:27 > 0:09:28a loss to explain how the
0:09:28 > 0:09:32accident had occurred.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38The defence have told the jury they believe a
0:09:38 > 0:09:40pre-existing fault with the Ferrari caused it to accelerate
0:09:40 > 0:09:41uncontrollably.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43But the prosecution says it was running normally before
0:09:43 > 0:09:46the crash.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Mr Cobden denies causing death by careless driving and the
0:09:48 > 0:09:52case continues.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01After eight years of going down the latest figures suggest youth
0:10:01 > 0:10:05unemployment is once again starting to rise.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07The government says there are positive signs
0:10:07 > 0:10:09of new opportunities for school leavers.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Today the employment minister took a tour of north London to find out
0:10:13 > 0:10:16first hand the challenges some young people still face in finding work.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Here's our political editor Tim Donovan.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Words on the wall to inspire at the Minister's first stop,
0:10:21 > 0:10:28the Octagon Academy in Wood Green for pupils who
0:10:28 > 0:10:30found it difficult in, or excluded from, mainstream school.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I really changed, like, really a lot since I started here.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I started taking this second chance.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I didn't want to waste it like I wasted my
0:10:40 > 0:10:40first chance back in mainstream.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So I wanted to do things right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Not easy doing this with so many teachers and government
0:10:45 > 0:10:46advisers in the room.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49In general I just want to be helping other people
0:10:49 > 0:10:52instead of just using my skills to do the wrong things.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55The school is working closely with the local Job
0:10:55 > 0:11:01Centre plus but the head here knows it's hard out there.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I think it is a difficult time for them coming out of
0:11:04 > 0:11:06school but if you get the right advice, and the right information
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and guidance, which is what we've had here,
0:11:08 > 0:11:09in conjunction with the
0:11:09 > 0:11:13work of the Department for Work and Pensions, you can make a real
0:11:13 > 0:11:14difference.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16There are certainly jobs in building Tottenham's new stadium
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and the club's foundation is promising many more in the future.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Last year I qualified as an FA level one coach.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Youngsters here, attracted by the chance to get a
0:11:23 > 0:11:24coaching qualification.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26They need independence, they need to be
0:11:26 > 0:11:27confident in what they do.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29But learning workplace skills leading to
0:11:29 > 0:11:29other things as well.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The football side for many is what allows you to
0:11:32 > 0:11:34get them through the door because of their love
0:11:34 > 0:11:37or their interest in
0:11:37 > 0:11:39football, and then they learn different skills.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42A lot of them are into their coaching but also a lot
0:11:42 > 0:11:47of them have gone down different paths.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Introducing what kind of work they're looking into...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And then to the job Centre plus in Enfield.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56The rise in youth unemployment may be
0:11:56 > 0:11:59small, up from 10.9 to 11% in a year but it's the first
0:11:59 > 0:12:01time in eight years it's headed in the wrong direction.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Ten minutes whereby you choose ten places...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06And there are signs of new jobs drying up too.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08When you look at this age group, look at the jobs
0:12:08 > 0:12:09picture, stagnating wages, the possibility,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11the cost of housing.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15It's quite a bleak picture for young people at the moment.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17You were with me during the morning and you also
0:12:17 > 0:12:20saw the reaction of the young people from the support that they are
0:12:20 > 0:12:25getting and they were absolutely inspired.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28They are really inspired and I felt really positive that we
0:12:28 > 0:12:31are doing the right things in terms of providing that support, and of
0:12:31 > 0:12:33course, with that support we need to make sure
0:12:33 > 0:12:34we are helping people with
0:12:34 > 0:12:36the cost of living as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Just a snapshot for the Minister of one
0:12:39 > 0:12:42small area of north London, but leaving with the hope that this rise
0:12:42 > 0:12:43in joblessness will soon be reversed.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Tim Donovan, BBC London News.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Turning to something we've reported a lot on,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50and it's on the rise.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Robberies involving mopeds, particularly in busy
0:12:53 > 0:12:54areas like Oxford Street, with thieves often
0:12:54 > 0:12:59swiping someone's phone.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well, for the first time, some of those involved in the crime
0:13:01 > 0:13:05have been speaking to the BBC.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Specifically journalist
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Livvy Haydock who's here - about about how and why they do it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14We will talk to you in just a moment. First, a glimpse into how
0:13:14 > 0:13:15easy they find it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And would you go straight through the lights?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Do you think people are stupid walking around
0:13:40 > 0:13:41with their phones out like that?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47But it's so normal.
0:13:57 > 0:14:04You saw a glimpse of her before, the journalist behind the documentary.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Inside Britain's Moped Gangs, Livvy Haydock is here -
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Thank you for coming in.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13They're effectively saying 'user beware'?
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Yeah. If anything it was almost like a list of how not to get mugged from
0:14:18 > 0:14:22the mugger, so it was extraordinary really to get that kind of insight
0:14:22 > 0:14:26from guys who are making a living going at stealing phones off people.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32As you say it was extraordinary. Incredible access.Thank you.How
0:14:32 > 0:14:38did you get to the stage where they allowed you in, so to speak?There
0:14:38 > 0:14:41are so many crimes committed using motorcycles in 2017, I think it was
0:14:41 > 0:14:46something like 23,000, so that something like 23,000 people
0:14:46 > 0:14:49involved in crimes, so there are a lot of people out there who have
0:14:49 > 0:14:52been involved in this, so it was a case of approaching people, talking
0:14:52 > 0:14:57to them, explaining that I want insight, I want to understand what
0:14:57 > 0:15:01motivates you and why you are doing it, and what you feel is to be
0:15:01 > 0:15:04gained. It also ultimately how people can protect themselves
0:15:04 > 0:15:08against your type of crime.Were you surprised by anything you saw
0:15:08 > 0:15:13experienced while you were with them?I was surprised at how they
0:15:13 > 0:15:21brag so much about how easy it is. The boasting?The boasting, yeah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25But actually, if you chatted to them, which I did, and challenged
0:15:25 > 0:15:29them, actually they know what they are doing is wrong, there is remorse
0:15:29 > 0:15:33there. But you've got to go beyond that. It is also partly to do with
0:15:33 > 0:15:38being young men and the adrenaline rush, bragging, Instagram, social
0:15:38 > 0:15:42media about what they are doing, and the stance they are doing on their
0:15:42 > 0:15:48bikes while doing these crimes. -- the stunts. Below that there is
0:15:48 > 0:15:51remorse in there and it's becoming more or less normal for them.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Turning now to what they do with all of these phones, you mentioned the
0:15:56 > 0:15:58huge numbers, because there isn't much value selling them here. I
0:15:58 > 0:16:05think we have a clip showing what they do with them.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Did you get any insight from being with these gangs that this type of
0:16:34 > 0:16:37crime is slowing down or how people should be protecting themselves
0:16:37 > 0:16:44more?Protecting themselves more definitely, in terms of being more
0:16:44 > 0:16:48aware of what is going on around you. You wouldn't walk around with
0:16:48 > 0:16:53cash in your hand but we do with our phones and it is sad we cannot do
0:16:53 > 0:16:58that any more but it is getting to that point. The bad weather over
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Christmas and earlier in the year puts these youngsters off going out
0:17:02 > 0:17:07on their bikes because it is even more dangerous.It is quite an
0:17:07 > 0:17:10insight. Thank you for coming in.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And you can watch Livvy Haydock's documentary for BBC Three
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Inside Britain's Moped Gangs.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19It's available on the BBC iPlayer.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Still to come this Thursday evening...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The footie match which raised cash for Grenfell survivors -
0:17:25 > 0:17:33QPR is recognised for its fundraising efforts.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34For anyone who suffers from dementia,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36or who has a loved one with the condition,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38it can be an isolating time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43One couple has told us how their experience has been even
0:17:43 > 0:17:45more of a struggle because they're gay and are now
0:17:45 > 0:17:49trying to help others.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Helen Mulroy went to meet them at their home in Tooting.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58A happy life at home together with his husband. It is something Mike
0:17:58 > 0:18:04Parrish has always aspired to after coming out as gay in the 1970s.It
0:18:04 > 0:18:11was a difficult time, helping with the Pride march and getting a
0:18:11 > 0:18:14mixture of cheering and happiness and also quite a lot of abuse. You
0:18:14 > 0:18:19would hear about people being beaten up a lot. There was always this risk
0:18:19 > 0:18:24if you were together that you could be targeted and fought on it did. It
0:18:24 > 0:18:32was in the late 80s that he was beaten up.But with the decades,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34society's view on homosexuality changed and they built a life
0:18:34 > 0:18:42together.For us it was a nice safe place to be. One has a huge appeal,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45even when the law wasn't quite right, even when things were
0:18:45 > 0:18:51happening to us that wasn't fair, it was easy to lose yourself in places
0:18:51 > 0:18:55and make friends.They never imagined they would face prejudice
0:18:55 > 0:19:01again in the future. That was at least until Tom's diagnosis with
0:19:01 > 0:19:10dementia related to HIV.We have to explain our relationship. I refer to
0:19:10 > 0:19:16my partner as she rather then he. We hear stories where people are in
0:19:16 > 0:19:19care homes looking after people with HIV will put rubber gloves on, they
0:19:19 > 0:19:25will make them sit in one particular seat, make sure their cutlery is not
0:19:25 > 0:19:30used by other people.And they are not alone in their experience.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Dementia is challenging whatever it is but it is more challenging if you
0:19:35 > 0:19:39are from the LGBT community. Often people can be marginalised. If they
0:19:39 > 0:19:44felt this from the NHS and social services, they might not have had a
0:19:44 > 0:19:48great response and it will prevent them from making contact in the
0:19:48 > 0:19:58first place.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Now Mike and Tom are taking their story on the road with the help of
0:20:02 > 0:20:04the Alzheimer's Society through a series of talks, hoping to drive
0:20:04 > 0:20:07change so that in the future gay couples dealing with HIV and
0:20:07 > 0:20:09dementia don't have to face the challenges they have hard.I think
0:20:09 > 0:20:12when I was 20 I would've thought by 62 this would have stopped. We
0:20:12 > 0:20:16wouldn't have to keep saying, by the way we are gay couple, but the
0:20:16 > 0:20:20reality is for of gay people people that never stops.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22A football club whose stadium is in the shadow
0:20:22 > 0:20:25of the Grenfell Tower has been recognised for the support
0:20:25 > 0:20:27it has offered survivors.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29QPR football club hosted a high profile charity match,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31which helped raise almost a million pounds for those
0:20:31 > 0:20:32affected by the tragedy.
0:20:32 > 0:20:41Chris Slegg has more.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Shahin Sadafi lived on the fifth floor of Grenfell Tower. Only his
0:20:46 > 0:20:52mother was home on the night of the disaster. Fortunately she survived.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57There was a place where we grew up. It was a place where friendships
0:20:57 > 0:21:02were made.Immediately after the disaster, QPR opened their stadium
0:21:02 > 0:21:08for people to leave donations. Within weeks they had organised a
0:21:08 > 0:21:12fundraising football match. Playing alongside legendary players and
0:21:12 > 0:21:17celebrities were Grenfell residents including Shahin Sadafi himself and
0:21:17 > 0:21:22remains grateful for everything the club has done.QPR were there with
0:21:22 > 0:21:26the community from the start, one of the many groups that came together
0:21:26 > 0:21:33and said let's see what we can do. The match helped raise close to £1
0:21:33 > 0:21:38million, an effort that has seen QPR nominated for a prize at the
0:21:38 > 0:21:45football awards. Les Ferdinand was among those who played.For me, the
0:21:45 > 0:21:48most poignant part was after the game when I was speaking to some
0:21:48 > 0:21:53survivors and people that were going back to the hotels. They were saying
0:21:53 > 0:21:57through all of this they felt they had been on their own and it was for
0:21:57 > 0:22:02the first time they felt they could come out and enjoyed a day.At the
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Brit awards last night, Stormzy attacked the Government for their
0:22:07 > 0:22:13perceived inaction. # Theresa May where is the money for
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Grenfell?Downing Street's response was that over £60,000 has been
0:22:19 > 0:22:27committed to the Grenfell community. Shahin are still living in a hotel.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31The Government authorities need to do more. There's a lot of talk but
0:22:31 > 0:22:35it's time to take action, show what they are made for and what action to
0:22:35 > 0:22:40the words they are saying.QPR say they will continue to offer support
0:22:40 > 0:22:44to the Grenfell community.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47His paintings sell for millions and he is one of the most
0:22:47 > 0:22:49influential artists of the 20th century.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Quite a surprise then that one of Pablo Picasso's works,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54along with unseen photographs of the great painter,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57have been stored at the bottom of a sock drawer in Surrey
0:22:57 > 0:22:58for half a century.
0:22:58 > 0:23:06Sarah Harris has the story.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09That's the camera my father used then, and that I kind of grew up
0:23:09 > 0:23:11having pointed at me when I was a kid.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And it took the pictures that recorded the week his father spent
0:23:14 > 0:23:18with one of the most famous artists of modern time.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20The plate was given to Jonathan's father by Picasso to celebrate
0:23:20 > 0:23:24the week they spent together in the south of France back in 1964,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28after a chance meeting on the beach.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The Surrey amateur photographer, pictured here with the man himself,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36kept the gift and the photos in an old sock drawer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38My father was not a fan of Picasso's as an artist.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41He thought he was a lovely man but didn't like the art.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45His taste was much more 19th-century and Rubens and Constable and sort
0:23:45 > 0:23:47of representational stuff, and Picasso was a bit
0:23:47 > 0:23:50out there for him.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So he just put it in the sock drawer!
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Absolutely, he knew it was valuable, worth keeping, and put it
0:23:55 > 0:23:57in the bottom off his chest of drawers.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Pablo Picasso never stops working.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Ceramist, sculptor, painter, in one medium and another...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Picasso's work sell the tens of million pounds.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Picasso's work sell for tens of million pounds.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13The photographs Jonathan's dad took show him enjoying the company
0:24:13 > 0:24:16of friends he even sometimes used as human canvases.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Stanley, he says, was not fazed by the painter's fame one jot.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23He just took it completely in his stride.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26He was very pleased to have met Picasso, then move
0:24:26 > 0:24:27on and do whatever is next.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29But most people would have said hi.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31There must have been something magnetic about his personality
0:24:31 > 0:24:34that he invited him back to his home and he was taking pictures
0:24:34 > 0:24:35of him the whole time.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37He just had charm, you know?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40He was one of these people who could walk into a room
0:24:40 > 0:24:42at a party and everyone knew he was there and
0:24:42 > 0:24:43everybody loved him.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Now a Picasso exhibition is being curated at the local
0:24:46 > 0:24:47gallery in Woking.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50This discovery was actually the beginning of the whole
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Picasso Fiesta, which is happening at the Light Box because Jonathan
0:24:54 > 0:24:57is a great supporter of ours.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00He lives just down the road and happened to mention in a totally
0:25:00 > 0:25:07chance conversation that he had all these photographs.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09The exhibition starts next month.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Jonathan says he'll not sell his late father's
0:25:10 > 0:25:13photographs at any price.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16They are just part of his family's history.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23Sarah Harris, BBC London news.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Let's see how the weather's
0:25:28 > 0:25:34looking with Louise Lear - colder is how it's feeling.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Yes, you might need to venture into that sock drawer over the next
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Yes, you might need to venture into that sock drawer over the next
0:25:38 > 0:25:43couple of days, you will need extra layers but today has been a tale of
0:25:43 > 0:25:48two halves. We started off gloomy, but into the afternoon what a
0:25:48 > 0:25:54change. A beautiful afternoon. The cloud broke up, the sunshine came
0:25:54 > 0:25:58through. That is chilly out there but this helps to compensate.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Through the evening the clear skies will stay with us and the
0:26:02 > 0:26:07temperatures will fall away. It will be acquired quiet weather theme over
0:26:07 > 0:26:11the next few days. There will be cloud hit and miss chiefly to the
0:26:11 > 0:26:16north of London across parts of Hertfordshire and into six, but the
0:26:16 > 0:26:25temperatures are likely to fall low as minus three degrees. Again some
0:26:25 > 0:26:28lovely spells of sunshine and through the day we will see
0:26:28 > 0:26:31fairweather cloud being dragged in from the North Sea, but that will
0:26:31 > 0:26:36melt away into the afternoon and we keep sunshine so we also keep the
0:26:36 > 0:26:42clear skies. By day a maximum of up to 6 degrees, factor in the strength
0:26:42 > 0:26:47of the winds and it will feel cold. We keep the clear skies, a cold and
0:26:47 > 0:26:52frosty start into Saturday, and again on those exposed coasts down
0:26:52 > 0:26:57to Essex and Kent it will be cold. Further inland more chance of seeing
0:26:57 > 0:27:01sunshine on Saturday, a glorious day and not much change as we head into
0:27:01 > 0:27:07the second half of the weekend. This high pressure dominating the story
0:27:07 > 0:27:11across Scandinavia, and if we trace the wind direction back to the Artic
0:27:11 > 0:27:16that's the reason it will feel so cold. Moving across the North Sea,
0:27:16 > 0:27:22it will feel cold. It will stay cold all week and in fact temperatures
0:27:22 > 0:27:26perhaps by day will struggle to climb above freezing. And yes there
0:27:26 > 0:27:30is the potential maybe for some snow on Tuesday night into Wednesday
0:27:30 > 0:27:32morning. Keep watching the forecasts.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35morning. Keep watching the forecasts.
0:27:35 > 0:27:45I think we will, thank you. That's all for now, from me and all of the
0:27:45 > 0:27:48team, thanks for watching and have a lovely evening.
