0:00:00 > 0:00:03to come forward to help with the investigation.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Coming up on BBC London News:
0:00:06 > 0:00:08The NHS doctor who's free to practice again after being
0:00:08 > 0:00:09cleared of gross negligence.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13The surgeon gives his reaction.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I think it's been unjust that we've been put
0:00:15 > 0:00:17through all of this, but, naturally, we are delighted
0:00:17 > 0:00:20that we've come through this, with the help of my family
0:00:20 > 0:00:26and our friends.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Also tonight...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29After another burst main causes chaos, the Mayor criticises
0:00:29 > 0:00:36Thames Water for a lack of long term planning.
0:00:36 > 0:00:43Plus the women who run London.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Tonight, we hear from the fire brigade's first female
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Commissioner and ask, does she feel like a role model?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I do absolutely feel like a role model, and when I see groups
0:00:51 > 0:00:54of young girls like these amazing girls here, it just makes me feel
0:00:54 > 0:00:56proud that I can show them there is a way forward.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59They don't have to do traditional jobs, they can challenge themselves
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and they can be firefighters.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03His name is Michael Caine.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And next week he celebrates his 85th birthday with a documentary -
0:01:06 > 0:01:15his take on the Swinging 60s.
0:01:16 > 0:01:23Good evening, and a very warm welcome to the programme.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Over a 30 year career, Dr David Sellu established himself
0:01:25 > 0:01:26as one of London's top surgeons.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29That was until a patient died in his care, he was convicted
0:01:29 > 0:01:31of manslaughter and sent to jail.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Dr Sellu and his wife then began a long battle to clear his name.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Eventually they managed to have his conviction overturned -
0:01:36 > 0:01:39but even then, still had to fight the medical establishment
0:01:39 > 0:01:40to allow him to return to practice.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42A tribunal has now FINALLY vindicated him.
0:01:42 > 0:01:52He's been telling our political editor, Tim Donovan, how that feels.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03His professional reputation restored and his name cleared the reliefis,
0:02:03 > 0:02:09evident. This has been eight very difficult year, eight years in which
0:02:09 > 0:02:14we have been through many, many investigations, inquests, a criminal
0:02:14 > 0:02:21trial and now a trial in a regulatory setting, we have been so
0:02:21 > 0:02:24traumatised by this case, that I think it's been unjust we have been
0:02:24 > 0:02:29put through all of this.It has been horrendous, our life has been put on
0:02:29 > 0:02:35hold all those years. And we've all suffered. Our children, people close
0:02:35 > 0:02:38to us. James Hughes is sorely missed by his
0:02:38 > 0:02:42sip six children and five grandchildren. He ran a building
0:02:42 > 0:02:44firm in west London before retiring to Northern Ireland.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48He was 66 and active, but with problems with his knee. To put that
0:02:48 > 0:02:53right he went for a routine op at the private Clementine Churchill
0:02:53 > 0:02:59hospital in harrow, that appeared to go fine but then he got severe some
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Macpains and Dr Sellu was called in. He operated on Mr Hughes for a
0:03:03 > 0:03:07perforated bowel. He died a day-and-a-half later. Though he had
0:03:07 > 0:03:17been is cleared of manslaughter the general meed council pursued
0:03:17 > 0:03:24disciplinary proceedings. He was accused of failing to perform urgent
0:03:24 > 0:03:28surgery but was cleared. The tribunal heard there was no
0:03:28 > 0:03:34anaesthetists and the only one was delayed. It heard that Jame Hughes
0:03:34 > 0:03:42hadn't shown signs of of deterioration.We all make mistakes
0:03:42 > 0:03:47in all walks of life, unfortunately us doctor, one difficulty that the
0:03:47 > 0:03:53public need to recognise is that our mistakes o if they are mistakes
0:03:53 > 0:03:58sometimes cause harm or loss of life. That said, I do not think I
0:03:58 > 0:04:02made any mistakes in my approach to the management of this patient and
0:04:02 > 0:04:06therefore I do not believe that this was a case that should have come as
0:04:06 > 0:04:13far as it did.Dr Sellu 's case is timely because how the General
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Medical Council deals with malpractice cases is the subject of
0:04:16 > 0:04:22a government review.It does make one question the British justice
0:04:22 > 0:04:25system, he really didn't deserve what they did to him. He went to
0:04:25 > 0:04:33prison for it. What does that achieve? Nothing.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37After 30 years of previously blemishless service he is free to
0:04:37 > 0:04:42resume practise but what he does and where is yet to decide. It won't get
0:04:42 > 0:04:45back the lost years of being
0:04:45 > 0:04:47ostracised and accused.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Coming up later in the programme....
0:04:48 > 0:04:51We look at claims the Royal Wedding is bringing more homeless people
0:04:51 > 0:05:00to windsor as they seek out tourists who'll give them cash.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03After days of no water in south London, today a burst pipe flooded
0:05:03 > 0:05:05the streets in Tooting, forcing some businesses to close.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It's prompted the local MP to call for new legislation to give
0:05:08 > 0:05:09the water regulator more powers.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Thames Water says the incident had nothing to do with the recent
0:05:12 > 0:05:13problems across London.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But the mayor has accused the company of "decades
0:05:15 > 0:05:16of under-investment", and has demanded answers.
0:05:17 > 0:05:26As Marc Ashdown reports.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Tooting Broadway underwater.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32The early hours of this morning, the road resembles a river.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34The latest burst water pipe to bring chaos to south London.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It left commuters with a precarious journey to work and many
0:05:37 > 0:05:39businesses closed, and trying, some more successfully than others,
0:05:39 > 0:05:47to deal with flooded shops.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Never seen anything like it before, to actually come into the shops.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Just yards from the burst pipe, staff at this charity shop said
0:05:53 > 0:05:55there was waist high water gushing past, but miraculously
0:05:55 > 0:06:01the doors was held firm.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03We thought that everything would be flooded, but luckily someone
0:06:03 > 0:06:06was looking after us, and, yeah, back to business.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07You're going to carry on, you are open?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yeah, of course.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We don't let nothing stop us!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Thames Water said this incident is unrelated to the recent
0:06:13 > 0:06:16disruption caused by pipes cracking in the severe weather.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19This 30 inch pipe is one of the oldest in London,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21dating back to the 1830s.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Thames say they had a team on site here within 15 minutes to shut off
0:06:24 > 0:06:27this pipe and reduce the flow, and as you can see, pretty much now
0:06:27 > 0:06:29it has receded altogether.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Their team has been here all day, assisting businesses and residents
0:06:32 > 0:06:34who they admit will have suffered some disruption to their water
0:06:34 > 0:06:35supply, and for that they've apologised, which,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39as people round here know, they've got used to doing recently.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40The local MP says "sorry" isn't good enough.
0:06:40 > 0:06:48She's calling for tough action.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I think fundamentally the time has come to legislate for this.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53We need to make sure that Ofwat have the powers
0:06:53 > 0:06:55that they need in order to make sure that things
0:06:55 > 0:06:56up regulated properly.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Look, they said they couldn't see this coming.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59It's a 200-year-old pipe.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It was always going to be coming.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03This is happening all across London and enough is enough.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Local residents have been without water for four
0:07:05 > 0:07:06days, some of them.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Schools have been closed and now local businesses
0:07:09 > 0:07:11are going to be suffering, due to a loss of local revenue.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It has been a difficult few days the Thames.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Thousands of people cut off and accusations of a slow,
0:07:16 > 0:07:17poorly communicated response plan.
0:07:17 > 0:07:24And today, a huge stockpile of water has sprung up to hand out
0:07:24 > 0:07:27with just a slow trickle of residents still in need.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30How long have you been without?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Erm, five days.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Five days?!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36How many kids have you got, have you got kids?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Four.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40The Mayor of London has written to Thames blaming
0:07:40 > 0:07:44decades of underinvestment for the recent problems.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Sadiq Khan wants pipe upgrade work intensified and said Londoners need
0:07:46 > 0:07:48assurances things will be markedly different when -
0:07:48 > 0:07:50not if - this happens again.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Marc Ashdown, BBC London News.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54A Parliamentary inquiry has begun hearing evidence today
0:07:54 > 0:07:57into the sale of fur, after a BBC London investigation
0:07:57 > 0:07:59revealed how market stalls and shops across the capital were found
0:07:59 > 0:08:01selling fake fur that was actually real.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well Alex Bushill who covered that story, was one
0:08:03 > 0:08:04of those giving evidence.
0:08:04 > 0:08:14So what did the inquiry hear?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20This inquiry was launched and we were invited to give evidence after
0:08:20 > 0:08:23our investigation which secretly recorded 17 shops and stalls across
0:08:23 > 0:08:29London. The vendors told us that the fur trim on the coat or hat was
0:08:29 > 0:08:33synthetic fur, not real. Latest tests revealed the reverse was true,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35it was animal fur, have a look.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Now the vendors that used their right to reply told us that the faux
0:09:01 > 0:09:07fur was provided by their suppliers and they were reassured it was faux
0:09:07 > 0:09:13fur, so they acted in good faith. Others are simply assumed that the
0:09:13 > 0:09:18price they sourced it at it had to be fake fur, they were wrong, the
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Select Committee has been alarmed, that I have launched this inquiry,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24they want to know how bad the problem is, here is is a sample of
0:09:24 > 0:09:29some of the Ed they heard this morning, including the evidence of
0:09:29 > 0:09:33an animal rights group.It was true across the board is retailers and
0:09:33 > 0:09:38traders are shocked that real fur can be available so cheaply.Yes, I
0:09:38 > 0:09:43can see the logic that you would sort of, you decide well it is so
0:09:43 > 0:09:48cheap it can't possibly be real. Real. I think my it has slipped
0:09:48 > 0:09:54through the net I think.You need to be able to make informed choices, it
0:09:54 > 0:09:59is the conner rights issue and it is about whether people are being able
0:09:59 > 0:10:03to make informed choices.Separately Camden's market said it will ban the
0:10:03 > 0:10:09sale of fur.A they have said no more fur will be sold. On that
0:10:09 > 0:10:14point, they have reassured us there will be daily inspections to ensure
0:10:14 > 0:10:18any fake fur will be that, will be fake f it seems our investigation
0:10:18 > 0:10:30has had something of an effect. Thank you for that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38One area in London is appealing for more private landlords to offer
0:10:38 > 0:10:39homes to Syrian refugees.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Under a government scheme - more than 500 Syrians
0:10:41 > 0:10:44have been resettled across the capital since 2015.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45But councils say they're struggling with the housing crisis
0:10:45 > 0:10:48while at the same time campaigners are demanding even more
0:10:48 > 0:10:49refugees be taken in.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Chris Rogers reports from Islington.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56These two women have formed the most unlikely of close friendships.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Yvette is a London landlady and Layla is her tenant.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01A refugee from war-torn Syria.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06She was a miracle for me, angel.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Comes to help us.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12The home changed our life for 100%, to better.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Leila, her husband and three children are among ten
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Syrian refugee families to settle in Islington.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Under a government scheme London councils are funded to pay the rent,
0:11:18 > 0:11:25and support parents into work, and children into school.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Although there is obviously a small hit because you don't get market
0:11:28 > 0:11:30rent, we get secure rent, it's regular, there's no
0:11:30 > 0:11:32gaps between tenancies, and it's an amazing way
0:11:32 > 0:11:35of being able to offer help to families that are just
0:11:35 > 0:11:42like ours, and have found themselves in a difficult time in their lives.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Islington Council says it is mindful of the housing crisis,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46but there's the issue.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47They now need to appeal for more compassionate private
0:11:47 > 0:11:52landlords to help refugees.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54We aren't able to give any council housing to our Syrian
0:11:54 > 0:11:56resettlement scheme, because frankly there isn't enough.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We have 19,000 people on the waiting list,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00so we just don't have any council properties to offer,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and that's why this partnership with the private landlords
0:12:03 > 0:12:08is so important to us.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10But could the demand to house Syrian refugees increase?
0:12:10 > 0:12:1310,000 have been given refuge by the UK from a devastating war,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15with strong support from London local authorities.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17The UN Refugee Agency UNHCR warn the Government's quota of 20,000
0:12:18 > 0:12:22is simply not enough.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24The success of the scheme has fuelled calls from campaigners
0:12:24 > 0:12:27and politicians for the Government to do more, and take in perhaps
0:12:27 > 0:12:29another 10,000 refugees, particularly children -
0:12:29 > 0:12:39and not just from Syria, but other war-torn countries.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The Home Office tell us it has no planned to increase its quota.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46For now, Layla's family are among the minority to escape war
0:12:47 > 0:12:48for a new start in London.
0:12:48 > 0:12:58Chris Rogers, BBC London News.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Now to mark International Women's Day on Thursday,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03this week we're getting an insight into the some of women
0:13:03 > 0:13:04who run London.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06First up - Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton, who talks macho image,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Grenfell, and what she needs to survive the long hours.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I caught up with her at Lee Green Fire Station
0:13:11 > 0:13:14in south east London, where she was meeting teenage girls
0:13:14 > 0:13:20taking part in a week long course with the brigade.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Get yourself rigged and ready for roll call.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30Dany, does it remind you of your teenage self?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Oh, definitely, just looking at them doing this,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35the first time you put your fire gear on, it's so exciting,
0:13:35 > 0:13:36but a bit scary too.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37That's it, well done.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39The beginning was tough, you know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I was one of about 30 women out of 6000 firefighters.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I think we were probably tested more than the guys were,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47because there was some questions around can women really do it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Are women still being put off a career in the Fire Service
0:13:50 > 0:13:52because it's still seen as a job for men?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I think they are, and I think it's really important that we role model
0:13:55 > 0:13:57women and that we talk about the fact women
0:13:57 > 0:13:58can be firefighters.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Most importantly, we explain the role.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I think people do still think it's just about heroic macho stuff
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and you have to be six foot tall and strong.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Were there ever times in your career that you either turned
0:14:07 > 0:14:10up at a fire station, and perhaps they were
0:14:10 > 0:14:12expecting a man?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh yeah, and continuously, across a whole range of things,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18you know, because Dany is a sort of a gender neutral name,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21any even now I get stuff written to me that says Mr Danny Cotton,
0:14:21 > 0:14:22even as London Fire Commissioner.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Two women running London's major services, it's not
0:14:24 > 0:14:27that long ago that that would have been unthinkable.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Completely, and even now sometimes people are quite
0:14:29 > 0:14:32surprised that it's happened, and in the same year, which has just
0:14:32 > 0:14:34been a great coincidence, but a really fantastic one,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37because it has just given us the sort of support and shown,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39for me, young girls and young women that there are fantastic career
0:14:39 > 0:14:48opportunities out there in non sort of traditional roles.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Your first year, of course, the tragic events of Grenfell.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Do you remember the moment you got the call?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Vividly, because I was at home.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It was in the middle of the night.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I remember thinking at the very start, this is going to be something
0:15:02 > 0:15:04very different and it's going to be something we've never
0:15:04 > 0:15:05experienced before.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You've said you never get rid of the guilt and responsibility.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14What did you mean?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I was responsible for every single firefighter on the fire ground that
0:15:16 > 0:15:19day, and it felt like the biggest weight of responsibility
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I have ever had.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I have never honestly experienced that feeling of anxiety,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23responsibility and care.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26If you were looking at that building, you couldn't help
0:15:26 > 0:15:27but look at that and just have an overwhelming
0:15:28 > 0:15:32feeling of concern.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36How do you cope with the images that you saw that night?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I think a lot of it for me has been about having counselling,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41and I've been really honest about that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I don't think I could have processed it on my own.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I think it's a very difficult...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48For me, walking round the fire ground, talking to my firefighters,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50having them physically break down in front of me is something that
0:15:50 > 0:15:56I've never experienced before.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Do you think admitting that vulnerability is a touch
0:15:58 > 0:16:00from your leadership, because you are a woman?
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Do you think that would have happened under a male Commissioner?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'm not so sure it would have done.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I can't judge what people would have thought,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13because it was such a different night, but I felt it's OK for me
0:16:13 > 0:16:14to be really honest about that.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Do you expect to be criticised in the inquiry?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I think that if we are not questioned about our actions
0:16:19 > 0:16:21and questioned about everything we do, then the inquiry
0:16:21 > 0:16:22isn't doing its job.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I think, inevitably, there will be people who maybe don't
0:16:24 > 0:16:27understand what happened that night, or the role of a firefighter,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29who might ask some challenging questions.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31But, as I said, I think it's really important we are just
0:16:31 > 0:16:33there to provide those answers, to give honest information,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35so that people can decide what really happened and,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37more importantly, to prevent something like this
0:16:37 > 0:16:38ever happening again.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Do you feel like a role model?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I do absolutely feel like a role model.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And when I see groups of young girls like these amazing girls here,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48it just makes me feel proud that I can show them there
0:16:48 > 0:16:49is a way forward.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50They don't have to do traditional jobs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52They can challenge themselves.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And tell us something that perhaps people wouldn't expect
0:16:54 > 0:16:56about the Fire Commissioner, or something that
0:16:56 > 0:17:03might surprise people.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06So, I have to eat regularly, and that's not always good
0:17:06 > 0:17:08in this job, but I try and have snacks everywhere.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Do you get hangry?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I'm a proper hangry person.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13People learn that quite quickly with me, if I don't
0:17:13 > 0:17:15get my food regularly, on time, and I drink way too
0:17:15 > 0:17:18much tea, and I really like Earl Grey tea with milk,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20which people think is weird, big yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24So food and drinking regularly are very important for me.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31She is not the only one! Formidable and a sense of humour.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34And tomorrow we hear from the Met Commissioner Cressida Dick -
0:17:34 > 0:17:36the first woman to lead Britain's largest police force.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Stay with us, still to come before 7...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44A new exhibition celebrates the cultural Revolution of the 1960s, by
0:17:44 > 0:17:49bringing together some of its most famous faces. And, temperatures are
0:17:49 > 0:17:52set to climb as we head towards the weekend, but that doesn't
0:17:52 > 0:17:57necessarily mean it will always be sunny. All the details, later in the
0:17:57 > 0:17:59programme.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Next...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Few would have given Tottenham a chance of getting this far
0:18:05 > 0:18:08in the Champions League.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So it's a big night for fans, as they're now on the brink
0:18:11 > 0:18:12of a place in the quarter-finals.
0:18:12 > 0:18:19But standing in their way are Italian giants Juventus.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23For Tottenham to have either made it this far is pretty special. They
0:18:23 > 0:18:27beat Real Madrid in their group and Borussia Dortmund twice to top that
0:18:27 > 0:18:31group and then drew Juventus in the last 16. They found themselves 2-0
0:18:31 > 0:18:35down after just nine minutes of that first leg three weeks ago but
0:18:35 > 0:18:40battled back for an impressive 2-2 draw. Mauricio Pochettino's side
0:18:40 > 0:18:43have a marginal advantage tonight. Because those two away goals they
0:18:43 > 0:18:48don't necessarily have to win, a goalless draw 1-1 draw will be
0:18:48 > 0:18:54enough. Pochettino says his now feel truly at home among your's elites.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Of course, in Europe the people start to respect more Tottenham,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59but of course we respect our football, our philosophy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01We try to develop good football, the football
0:19:01 > 0:19:02that we love and that we feel.
0:19:02 > 0:19:12And, of course, yes, we feel that we have the respect.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17It is not just those who have the respect of your's finest, it's the
0:19:17 > 0:19:22ever improving form of Harry Kane. He has scored nine goals in his
0:19:22 > 0:19:24first nine Champions League appearances, the first player ever
0:19:24 > 0:19:27to do that. Tottenham fans are hoping he can make it at least ten
0:19:27 > 0:19:33in ten tonight. But, of course, spares will have to be wary against
0:19:33 > 0:19:37the truly talented Juventus team. They've reached two the last three
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Champions League finals. If Spurs managed to get through, it will
0:19:41 > 0:19:47truly count among their finest ever results in European competition.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49It's been claimed more homeless people have moved to Windsor ahead
0:19:49 > 0:19:52of the Royal Wedding, despite a row over proposals
0:19:52 > 0:19:55to fine rough sleepers.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57The council were due to debate the issue this evening -
0:19:57 > 0:19:59but it has now put those plans on hold.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Sarah Harris has the story.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Sometimes when you have nowhere to stay, this
0:20:03 > 0:20:05is what you have to do.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Homelessness - it's hard to explain, especially in one of the wealthiest
0:20:08 > 0:20:12parts of the country.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14But some residents in Windsor believe the publicity around
0:20:14 > 0:20:18the forthcoming Royal wedding has attracted more rough
0:20:18 > 0:20:21sleepers to the Royal town, keen to make the most generous
0:20:21 > 0:20:24donations from tourists.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27If you give a man four walls and a roof, he'll survive.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Kenny Morris used to work for the homeless charity Shelter
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and believes they should be moved on for their own good.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36What they used to turn up with, a sleeping bag and maybe a dog
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and then they'd move on.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43They're certainly not now.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Now they've got, like as you can see, little houses.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Whether they're taking advantage of it or not
0:20:50 > 0:20:53is not down for me to say, but there is definitely
0:20:53 > 0:20:56a difference, certainly now the wedding's coming.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Last month in Edinburgh, the Royal couple showed their support
0:20:59 > 0:21:03for a charity getting rough sleepers back into work.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Sunny is originally from Slough but denies setting up
0:21:08 > 0:21:11by the cashpoint next to the castle to benefit from tourists.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14It's not just Windsor, it's all up and down the country
0:21:14 > 0:21:15people are homeless.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It is only highlighted here because of the wedding,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20but this is like a normal problem in this country.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It shouldn't be, we're one of the richest countries in the world.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Those working to support rough sleepers say they can make more
0:21:25 > 0:21:28than £200 a day begging, but Murphy, a former
0:21:28 > 0:21:29rough sleeper himself, denies the publicity around
0:21:29 > 0:21:33the wedding is attracting more people to the town.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38The only difference is, where they've bedded down.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Because people use to bed down in parks, now people are bedding
0:21:41 > 0:21:44down on the high street and the perception is that
0:21:44 > 0:21:45homelessness is on the increase.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48The local council got into hot water when its leader made
0:21:48 > 0:21:52so-called insensitive tweets about homeless people.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Now his deputy says plans to issue fines have been put on hold.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02These people who are living on the streets will die prematurely.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And I'm not prepared, as all the time I'm a counsellor,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07to allow that to happen and I want to make sure
0:22:07 > 0:22:09that the help is in place.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's understood for security reasons the police will move on rough
0:22:11 > 0:22:16sleepers on the wedding day itself, but that won't solve
0:22:16 > 0:22:19the long-term issue - the most basic of cardboard homes
0:22:19 > 0:22:19next to a Royal fortress.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Sarah Harris, BBC London News.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Sir Michael Caine will be celebrating his 85th
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Birthday next week.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30To mark the occasion the London actor will release
0:22:30 > 0:22:35a new documentary - his take on the swinging sixties.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37There's also a pop-up exhibition which will open
0:22:37 > 0:22:38tomorrow in Carnaby Street.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44Emma North has been to take a look.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Growing up in London in the 1950s was predictable and dull. My
0:22:49 > 0:22:54generation demanded new beginnings. It said every generation pushes back
0:22:54 > 0:22:59against the one that has just gone before, but Michael Caine thinks
0:22:59 > 0:23:02there was something pretty special about London in the 1960s.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07It was the first time the future was shaped by young people.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10The film my generation is a full-blown joyride through Michael
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Caine's youth growing up in London, and to go with it, there's an
0:23:15 > 0:23:18exhibition showing a time of huge style and quite a lot of making it
0:23:18 > 0:23:22up as he went along.I didn't have a clue what was going on, everything
0:23:22 > 0:23:27was for the first time. Everything was exciting. Practically every day
0:23:27 > 0:23:31was a new experience. I didn't know what the others were doing. Look at
0:23:31 > 0:23:37this wonderful picture up here. Sandra worked for the likes of
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Vogue. Her best pictures came when she got her models to dance.They'd
0:23:43 > 0:23:49bring their music and sometimes I would bring them -- played in
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Strauss and sometimes chubby checker, if I wanted them to twist.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57The show includes work by the likes of Terry O'Neill, whose first job on
0:23:57 > 0:24:00a newspaper was photographing the Beatles. The exhibition's to rate
0:24:00 > 0:24:04had to go through 40,000 pictures to bring this collection together.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Everything began to change. You could be working class and you could
0:24:08 > 0:24:13be a hero, you could be a film star, you could be anything. That, the way
0:24:13 > 0:24:18that revolution happened in the 60s is still continuing now.Some of the
0:24:18 > 0:24:23places which made their mark back then are still big attractions, but
0:24:23 > 0:24:29half a century on, what can London learn from the 1960s?Give young
0:24:29 > 0:24:36kids a chance. They don't really trust kids, do they? They give them
0:24:36 > 0:24:39a job but they don't really trust them but they should trust them,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43because out of that comes creativity.
0:24:43 > 0:24:51It was our time... The best time of our lives.My generation is out next
0:24:51 > 0:24:53week and the exhibition starts in Carnaby Street tomorrow.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59He really is a legend! Time for the weather and Ben Rich is here. I was
0:24:59 > 0:25:02going to say the weatherman but I'm not sure unless you are in Michael
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Caine found.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Maybe a big Michael Caine found. As far as the weather goes, the story
0:25:10 > 0:25:12of Art where the movie in the next few days is
0:25:12 > 0:25:13of Art where the movie in the next few days is a pretty mixed one. Ups
0:25:13 > 0:25:17and downs. The temperature is going up but at times, the rain will be
0:25:17 > 0:25:21coming down. Not the best of starts to the day for many. If you are out
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and about in central London this morning it looked a bit like that
0:25:25 > 0:25:28over Tower Bridge. By this afternoon, the day ended on a bright
0:25:28 > 0:25:33note for many. You can see on our radar picture, the rain we had first
0:25:33 > 0:25:37thing took a while to clear away from Essex and Kent but then things
0:25:37 > 0:25:42were largely dry. One or two showers passing from West to east. You would
0:25:42 > 0:25:47have been fairly lucky to catch too many of those. One or two showers
0:25:47 > 0:25:50continuing tonight, some Chris Bell is as well. After midnight, more
0:25:50 > 0:25:54cloud spreading from the West, strengthening breeze and some
0:25:54 > 0:25:56outbreaks of rain if you're out and about early tomorrow. It will not be
0:25:56 > 0:26:04a cold start to the day. 2-5d. Tomorrow, very wet weather first
0:26:04 > 0:26:07thing but it should clear away in time for a shower I suspect an skies
0:26:07 > 0:26:11brightened. Some sunshine, hints of one or two showers passing in the
0:26:11 > 0:26:15breeze but nothing too significant. Many places will stay dry through
0:26:15 > 0:26:19the afternoon. The breeze will be a feature, you will notice it but
0:26:19 > 0:26:23temperatures 8-10d. Compare it with a weaker goats, a completely
0:26:23 > 0:26:28different feel. Another mile day on Friday. A bright start and then a
0:26:28 > 0:26:33bit more cloud spreading from the south. I suspect we will stay dry
0:26:33 > 0:26:37right until the end of the day. 9-11d, the temperature is continuing
0:26:37 > 0:26:40to lift. That is the theme that takes it and we can but not before
0:26:40 > 0:26:44we have seen a bit of rain during Friday night. This frontal system
0:26:44 > 0:26:48pushes North Woods but as we get into the weekend, the weather driven
0:26:48 > 0:26:51by this area of low pressure and circulating around that, we will get
0:26:51 > 0:26:56into a southerly wind. That will bring some really mild air in our
0:26:56 > 0:27:06direction. Remember what things were like last week, and think of it in a
0:27:06 > 0:27:09very, very different way as we head towards weekend. Look at that, 13,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12maybe 14 degrees. With that some rain at times. Apps the mist and
0:27:12 > 0:27:14fog. If you didn't like the cold last week you'll probably like
0:27:14 > 0:27:21what's coming up. Thank you.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Tonight's main news headline: The Metropolitan Police say
0:27:25 > 0:27:28that they believe a nerve agent was used to poison Sergei Skripal
0:27:28 > 0:27:31and his daughter Yulia in Sailsbury.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34A police officer who helped them at the scene is now also
0:27:34 > 0:27:40in a serious condition in hospital.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41in a serious condition in hospital.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45That was the latest update on that story. I will be back with the
0:27:45 > 0:27:47latest at 10:30pm. From all of us here, good
