0:00:00 > 0:00:00and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

0:00:05 > 0:00:06Tonight on BBC London News:

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The Mayor pledges to stamp out gender inequality and make

0:00:09 > 0:00:11the capital feel safer for women and girls.

0:00:11 > 0:00:16But some question if it's the best way forward, or even needed.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Also tonight:

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Tributes to the 19-year-old shot dead at a cinema in Wood Green.

0:00:20 > 0:00:26His former school says he was a popular pupil.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Plus the woman from Surrey horrified to find out she had "do not

0:00:28 > 0:00:34resusciate" on her medical forms - against her wishes.

0:00:35 > 0:00:42Frightening. To think that they could have those forms and I didn't

0:00:42 > 0:00:47know anything about them. It was my life that they were talking about.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49And the first woman to take on the role.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51We speak to the new Bishop of London who mixes

0:00:51 > 0:00:55the traditional with the modern.

0:00:55 > 0:01:05I think I was voted the most tweeted bishop. I go for quantity, not

0:01:05 > 0:01:07necessarily quality.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Welcome to the programme.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21First tonight, the mayor's unveiled plans to make London

0:01:21 > 0:01:27a leading city in the fight against gender inequality.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29More than £40 million has been pledged for a raft

0:01:29 > 0:01:36of measures to help make women and girls feel safer.

0:01:36 > 0:01:44But some have questioned the strategy, as Sarah Harris reports.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49A lot of people are so scared to make the point and say, you are

0:01:49 > 0:01:54doing this.Listening to women from all ages and backgrounds, the mayor

0:01:54 > 0:01:57determined to make London a beacon for gender equality across the

0:01:57 > 0:02:02world. For him, that is not just about tackling violence, but

0:02:02 > 0:02:07changing attitudes.Everyone here has a story. We have to prevent

0:02:07 > 0:02:11women being victims of violence, women and girls. That means

0:02:11 > 0:02:16education, changing the attitudes of boys in particular, making sure we

0:02:16 > 0:02:21invest in young people, making sure there are safe places to work,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24whether licensed premises, workplaces, the public transport

0:02:24 > 0:02:28network.The event was at the Royal Central School of speech and drama,

0:02:28 > 0:02:33where they have introduced a zero tolerance attitude to sexual abuse.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38It makes you feel so vulnerable. Student Millie was able to get help

0:02:38 > 0:02:42when she says a man rubbed himself against her in a bar. She says that

0:02:42 > 0:02:48they sign on the war made clear where to get support.I felt very

0:02:48 > 0:02:53uncomfortable. It was not nice at all. I actually felt a bit sick,

0:02:53 > 0:03:00because I don't want that on me at all. But like I say, I remembered

0:03:00 > 0:03:07seeing a sign and it was definitely a big reassurance to know that this

0:03:07 > 0:03:15space had that system in place. Across the world this week, women

0:03:15 > 0:03:20have been marching to celebrate International Women's Day in the

0:03:20 > 0:03:24light of empowerment movements. But not everyone is convinced in London

0:03:24 > 0:03:28much intervention is needed.I reject that message because it

0:03:28 > 0:03:35paints women as vulnerable, fragile. That's not true. Women have fought

0:03:35 > 0:03:41for years to be treated as equals and treated as strong, autonomous

0:03:41 > 0:03:45individuals, and I find it a bit offensive, this message from the

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Mayor of London that Sadiq Khan is going to come and save women. We

0:03:49 > 0:03:55don't need him to save us, we are doing fine.It is early days for the

0:03:55 > 0:03:59mayor's plans, but there will be funding for tackling perpetrators

0:03:59 > 0:04:02and victims support, the aim being to make the capital the world's

0:04:02 > 0:04:04safest city for women.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Plenty more ahead tonight, including:

0:04:05 > 0:04:08The officer killed during a terror attack on Westminster last year

0:04:08 > 0:04:12is given a posthumous award for his heroic response.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Tributes have been paid to the 19-year-old shot dead

0:04:20 > 0:04:23at a cinema complex in north London.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It happened close to Wood Green Underground station.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29His former school says he was a popular pupil.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Alpa Patel has more details.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38You now know his name.

0:04:38 > 0:04:45Yes, we do. He has been named to us as Kelvin. We have also learned that

0:04:45 > 0:04:52Kelvin was a rapper and performed under two pseudonyms. He is the

0:04:52 > 0:04:59first teenager to be shot dead in London so far this year. His murder

0:04:59 > 0:05:03has understandably caused shock and concern in Wood Green, partly

0:05:03 > 0:05:07because the 19-year-old was shot inside the doors of a popular cinema

0:05:07 > 0:05:12complex just before half past midnight yesterday. I have been

0:05:12 > 0:05:15speaking to his old school, the Fulneck School in Yorkshire, and

0:05:15 > 0:05:20they have given us this tribute. He was an extremely popular young man,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22they said.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37What is the latest with the investigation?Police have told us

0:05:37 > 0:05:42that one line of enquiry is that the murder was gang-related. They also

0:05:42 > 0:05:46want to speak to anyone who may have seen two people making off on a

0:05:46 > 0:05:53mopeds shortly after the shooting. But no arrests have been made so

0:05:53 > 0:05:55far, so their investigations continue.Many thanks for the

0:05:55 > 0:05:57update.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00A woman from Surrey says she was horrified to find out that

0:06:00 > 0:06:03three "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation" forms were put on her medical

0:06:03 > 0:06:04records, against her wishes.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Carol Hall was in hospital last summer with a serious lung

0:06:06 > 0:06:10condition and says she hopes no one else has to go through what she did.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Frimley Park Hospital says it's reviewing its current forms.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18She's been speaking to our reporter Sophia Seth.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Frightening.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25To think that they could have those forms and I didn't know

0:06:25 > 0:06:29anything about them.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Carol has a degenerative lung condition.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Last summer, a chest infection meant she was in and out

0:06:35 > 0:06:37of Frimley Park Hospital.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40In that time, she had three do not attempt resuscitation

0:06:40 > 0:06:43forms on her file.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Both she and her husband told me they had no knowledge of them.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48That can't happen, things like that.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50And then I brought her home because I thought, no way

0:06:50 > 0:06:53is she going to stay there.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56All three forms said Carol and her family agreed she should

0:06:56 > 0:06:59not be resuscitated, something they dispute.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Resuscitation has risks.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Doctors are advised that a patient's wishes should always be considered

0:07:04 > 0:07:07but they don't have to give treatment if they believe it

0:07:07 > 0:07:09won't benefit the patient.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11However, medical guidelines state that doctors must provide honest

0:07:11 > 0:07:16and accurate record keeping of the process.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Frimley Park Hospital says it cannot comment on this particular case.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23However, it says it understands the importance of good communication

0:07:23 > 0:07:28when it comes to issues around do not attempt cardiopulmonary

0:07:29 > 0:07:30resuscitation.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34The hospital also says it is reviewing current forms

0:07:34 > 0:07:36to make sure they are as clear as possible for

0:07:36 > 0:07:39clinicians and patients.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42One charity has told us they have seen an increase in patients

0:07:42 > 0:07:45concerned about resuscitation forms.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48We know doctors are under a lot of pressure and sometimes

0:07:48 > 0:07:49communication isn't happening.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51And sometimes I think they are almost frightened

0:07:51 > 0:07:55to have the conversation, worried the patient will be upset.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58There are now new recommendations for health care professionals.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01They start by talking about the person's condition,

0:08:01 > 0:08:05treatment that would help them to achieve what they want

0:08:05 > 0:08:08to achieve, and then going on to talk about treatments

0:08:08 > 0:08:11that wouldn't help them and would be better avoided,

0:08:11 > 0:08:14including resuscitation.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Carol is now receiving NHS care packages at home.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20She hopes no one else goes through what she did.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25I'd like to see that they are treated correctly,

0:08:25 > 0:08:29with care and compassion.

0:08:29 > 0:08:35Some people out there might not have any family to stick up for them.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Carol Hall ending that report.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40It was almost a year ago that the Westminster terror attack

0:08:40 > 0:08:42claimed the lives of seven people.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45One of them was PC Keith Palmer who was stabbed to death outside

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Parliament after he bravely confronted the attacker.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Today the Met officer was given a posthumous award by the force

0:08:51 > 0:08:54for his heroic response.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Asad Ahmad can tell us more.

0:08:56 > 0:09:05He's in Westminster now.

0:09:05 > 0:09:12Roof, it was in March last year that Khalid Masood drove his vehicle down

0:09:12 > 0:09:15behind me, bowing into as many innocent people as he could, trying

0:09:15 > 0:09:19to claim as many lives as he could. He got out, ran around the front of

0:09:19 > 0:09:23the Palace of Westminster to the gates being patrolled by police. One

0:09:23 > 0:09:27of those police was PC Keith Palmer, who was determined to stop the

0:09:27 > 0:09:31attack upon getting inside and claiming more lives. He was not even

0:09:31 > 0:09:36put off by the two large knives in the attack's hands. The

0:09:36 > 0:09:40confrontation proved fatal and a short time after that the attacker

0:09:40 > 0:09:45was shot dead by armed police. That outstanding act of bravery, as it

0:09:45 > 0:09:49was referred to this afternoon, won him a posthumous award. The

0:09:49 > 0:09:52commission of the Metropolitan Police had this to say after the

0:09:52 > 0:09:54ceremony.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57We wish it hadn't happened but to be able to recognise the extraordinary

0:09:57 > 0:09:59nature of what he did, a proud police officer,

0:09:59 > 0:10:02loved working there, a great copper, loved arresting bad people,

0:10:02 > 0:10:03somebody people loved working with.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06To be able to say, well done, Keith, and thank you so much.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10And to say that also to his family was very important for us as a big

0:10:10 > 0:10:20family organisation.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25As you could probably tell from that, it was an emotional ceremony

0:10:25 > 0:10:30at times. Not all the awards went to police officers. Conservative MP

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Tobias Ellwood, who came to the aid of PC Keith Palmer as he lay

0:10:34 > 0:10:38bleeding, received an acknowledgement today, as did the

0:10:38 > 0:10:42policeman of the year, police community support officer of the

0:10:42 > 0:10:46year, and also an acknowledgement to the work police teams are doing

0:10:46 > 0:10:51around London to try and reduce drugs and knife crime. Today was

0:10:51 > 0:10:53about celebrating the work of the police as well as remembering an

0:10:53 > 0:10:59officer lost in the line of duty. Thank you.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03It's being described as an end of an era for fans of an iconic

0:11:03 > 0:11:05music magazine which has featured global superstars like

0:11:05 > 0:11:06the Beatles and David Bowie.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08The print version of the NME has been released for

0:11:08 > 0:11:10the final time today.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12The London-based publication will now only be available online

0:11:12 > 0:11:18due to rising production costs.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21We asked some Londoners with connections to the magazine to share

0:11:21 > 0:11:24memories of what it meant for them. There are flashing images in this

0:11:24 > 0:11:27report.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30When I was growing up, it was really my window

0:11:30 > 0:11:34into the world I cared about.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38I was a child in the 60s and I think if you were a child in the 60s,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41then music was absolutely at the centre of your universe.

0:11:41 > 0:11:49And the NME you was my Bible.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54I ended up working for the NME because it was the only job

0:11:54 > 0:11:57in the world that I really wanted, and I will tell

0:11:57 > 0:11:58you what it was like.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01It was like stepping through the back of the wardrobe

0:12:01 > 0:12:11into Narnia, a completely magical and transcendent experience.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12My name is Mickey.

0:12:12 > 0:12:18I used to be in a band called Lush.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21You rushed to the newsagents and it was like, where is it?

0:12:21 > 0:12:25It would be mortifying it was a bad review,

0:12:25 > 0:12:28but if it was a good review, you would be really excited

0:12:28 > 0:12:33and getting copies for your mum and all of that.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35We discovered bands and we championed bands

0:12:35 > 0:12:39and we understood what the little kernel of magic that their hearts.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47It sometimes would absolutely tear you to pieces, but I have to say

0:12:47 > 0:12:51looking back on it I don't think it really mattered whether it was

0:12:51 > 0:12:54a good or bad review.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57It was really about having a voice and that was the only medium

0:12:57 > 0:13:05for people to find out about you.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Getting an NME front cover if you were a band

0:13:09 > 0:13:12was the equivalent of getting a million hits on your YouTube

0:13:12 > 0:13:17channel now, or whatever is the contemporary equivalent.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19You were kind of a made man, or a made band.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22If the NME said you were good, you were good, and people

0:13:22 > 0:13:32would buy your records on the strength of that alone.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40When the NME was great, and it was great for knocking on for half a

0:13:40 > 0:13:45century, we were standing on the shoulders of giants. We had so much

0:13:45 > 0:13:50to write about. It is a period of time, a magical embarrassment of

0:13:50 > 0:13:56riches, a golden area for music that has drawn to a close, and the NME is

0:13:56 > 0:13:59part of that.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02They're hailed as a new way to help the homeless by one borough.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04But some residents living in shipping containers converted

0:14:04 > 0:14:06into flats have complained about the conditions.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Ealing Council says it hasn't received any complaints

0:14:07 > 0:14:10but has apologised for recent problems with their bills.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Gareth Furby has the story.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16They are shipping containers and now temporary homes.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Opened in Hanwell, West London, almost a year ago,

0:14:19 > 0:14:22and then in Acton three months ago.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26And hailed by Ealing Council as a new way to help homeless families.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28So how is it working out?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Not too well, according to some residents.

0:14:32 > 0:14:32Put your hand here.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34It's colder than outside.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35There's not enough heating.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37There are no radiators in the kitchen area,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39the passage or the bathroom.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41At night, you can't get out of bed because of the cold.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44They said, "If you don't like it, we'll take your name off the list

0:14:44 > 0:14:47and you can go with your family and sleep on the street".

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Ealing Council says it hasn't received any complaints,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52but, in another Acton container, we met a mother of three.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54It is absolutely freezing.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56There is no heating in the bathroom.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59And she showed us documents which state that the rent has

0:14:59 > 0:15:03just gone up by 20%, to £415 per week,

0:15:03 > 0:15:06around £1800 a month.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Her payments are covered by benefits, but she says that

0:15:08 > 0:15:14would mean her two-bed container costs around £400 per month more

0:15:14 > 0:15:16to rent than the two-bed house she had to leave.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18When we pointed out to Ealing Council that shipping

0:15:18 > 0:15:21containers were now apparently costing more than bricks and mortar,

0:15:21 > 0:15:23they said they'd made a mistake.

0:15:23 > 0:15:28We have made an error in the last two weeks in sending out

0:15:28 > 0:15:29a revised rent bill.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31That will be corrected immediately.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35The council says the converted containers are good value for money,

0:15:35 > 0:15:37about £1000 a month cheaper than bed-and-breakfast

0:15:37 > 0:15:40accommodation.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41We haven't received any complaints from residents

0:15:41 > 0:15:44about that at the moment, so we will look into

0:15:44 > 0:15:46what has been said.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49We certainly hope that what we've provided is some very thermally

0:15:49 > 0:15:52comfortable accommodation.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Ealing Council says conditions here are much better than in a B&B.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58But it will investigate all complaints.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Gareth Furby, BBC London News.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Stay with us.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Still to come before 7pm...

0:16:07 > 0:16:10How to be more inclusive.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11The London dance group taking their message

0:16:11 > 0:16:19to the Winter Paralympics in South Korea.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23And the weather has gone downhill today, with cloud and rain spreading

0:16:23 > 0:16:27from the south. Over the weekend, temperatures will only be heading

0:16:27 > 0:16:33upwards. All the details coming up.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Before that, though, the final in our series this week

0:16:38 > 0:16:41marking International Women's Day and an insight into the some

0:16:41 > 0:16:43of the women holding senior positions in London.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Tonight we hear from the new Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally,

0:16:45 > 0:16:49the first woman to hold the post.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52She officially takes on the role in May but I caught up

0:16:52 > 0:16:56with her as she visited St Mary's Church in Stoke Newington.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59So when did you first realise that faith was going to be

0:16:59 > 0:17:01a big part of your life?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04As a teenager I became Christian and it was that moment

0:17:04 > 0:17:08in which I suppose I thought if I believed something

0:17:08 > 0:17:11about Jesus Christ and God there was that moment

0:17:11 > 0:17:13where I thought actually, I would commit my life to following him.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18So it was at about 16.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Because you went into nursing first, you were the youngest

0:17:20 > 0:17:22chief nursing officer, bringing up two children

0:17:22 > 0:17:24and training as a priest.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Was there ever a time when you thought, this is just too

0:17:28 > 0:17:29much, I just can't do it?

0:17:29 > 0:17:32I think women are good jugglers really.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36So there was a sense in which being the government's

0:17:36 > 0:17:39chief nursing officer supported my training

0:17:39 > 0:17:42as a priest and being a mother supported all of them.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I mean we all know what it is to juggle so I just

0:17:45 > 0:17:48juggled a number of things.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Do you think there is more expectation put on you than a man

0:17:52 > 0:17:53because you are the first female Bishop of London?

0:17:53 > 0:17:57I think if you talk to a lot of women who are appointed

0:17:57 > 0:17:58into senior positions, the expectations are different

0:17:58 > 0:18:01than if it had been a man.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04And that's just being conscious of that.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07People will watch me probably closer than if a man had been

0:18:07 > 0:18:08appointed to London.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Some London churches find your authority a hard

0:18:11 > 0:18:14to take, or don't accept it because you're a woman.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16That's right, yes.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19And there are across London people who won't accept my ordination

0:18:19 > 0:18:23at a priest or as a bishop.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25What I want, however, is to work with them,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28and I'm very clear that we have to work out a way of working.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32So it doesn't mean they can ignore me.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Some are saying they would break away if the next Bishop of London

0:18:34 > 0:18:39had liberal views on sexuality.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43The issue of sexuality is clearly a complex one in London and one

0:18:43 > 0:18:45of the things for us to do is to enable people to find

0:18:45 > 0:18:49a spiritual home in each and every church wherever they are.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52But the LGBT community in London will want to have a lead

0:18:52 > 0:18:56from you that the church is inclusive, and by not telling

0:18:56 > 0:19:02them how you feel about blessing a same-sex marriage,

0:19:02 > 0:19:07do you feel like you're letting them down in some way?

0:19:07 > 0:19:12London is made up of huge, diverse groups and absolutely

0:19:12 > 0:19:15we need to enable people to, for them to find a spiritual home.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19We cannot condone homophobic action.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21We ought to be able to have confidence in talking

0:19:21 > 0:19:23about God but also respectful of other people's views.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26And my experience, particularly of the young

0:19:26 > 0:19:29is that they are interested in those conversations and I want to push us

0:19:29 > 0:19:33as much as anything.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Do any of them ask if the Bible is literally true?

0:19:36 > 0:19:40I think a lot of people would talk about what is the Bible.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43My belief is that God works through it and it

0:19:43 > 0:19:45interprets with us today.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47And those are the sort of conversations, it's absolutely

0:19:47 > 0:19:48right that young people engage with.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Do they ask that, though?

0:19:50 > 0:19:55Of course they do!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58So is it true that you tweet the most among your peers?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I think I was voted the most tweeting Bishop, yes, I was!

0:20:00 > 0:20:02That's quite an accolade!

0:20:02 > 0:20:05I go for quantity not necessarily quality!

0:20:05 > 0:20:10So what would be your advice to young girls in London?

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Oh, for me, in a sense for them to believe in themselves.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16The possibilities are enormous and just for them to know that

0:20:16 > 0:20:19actually what they want to achieve, it's absolutely within

0:20:19 > 0:20:20their gift to do that.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Have confidence in who they are.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Advice from Sarah Mullally, the new Bishop of London.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Football and West Ham's Premier League future hangs in the balance

0:20:36 > 0:20:38with the team hovering dangerously close to

0:20:38 > 0:20:39the bottom of the table.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Manager David Moyes has a huge challenge to get

0:20:41 > 0:20:42things right on the pitch.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45But there's also trouble brewing off it with fans in disagreement

0:20:45 > 0:20:47about holding a protest march against the club owners.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Fans of West Ham have been planning a protest march at London Stadium

0:20:52 > 0:20:55over a long list of concerns including issues about their new

0:20:55 > 0:20:58home and their relationship with the club's current owners.

0:20:58 > 0:21:03With that in mind, vice-chair Karren Brady met

0:21:03 > 0:21:06with representatives from 15 supporters organisations.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Those meetings between Karren Brady and the fans groups led

0:21:10 > 0:21:13to her writing this open letter of nine pages dealing

0:21:13 > 0:21:18with many of the issues.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Feeling they were now being heard by the club,

0:21:20 > 0:21:26one of the main groups behind the march, now called

0:21:26 > 0:21:28The Real West Ham Fans Group, chose to cancel it.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Others who still wanted to hold what they called a peaceful

0:21:31 > 0:21:34and lawful march were asked by Newham Council to postpone it

0:21:34 > 0:21:36while they considered a proposal that would be safe

0:21:36 > 0:21:37for the participants.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Meanwhile, there are claims of abuse and threats between the different

0:21:39 > 0:21:43fans organisations.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Unfortunately there are a number of different either accounts

0:21:47 > 0:21:50or counter argument as to what actually did or didn't

0:21:50 > 0:21:53happen and there does seem to be a lot of splintered or fractured

0:21:53 > 0:21:56elements now to the support.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59And there may still be protests in the future if West Ham don't now

0:21:59 > 0:22:03fulfil their long list of promises.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06The resentment or the anger or the frustration at the way

0:22:06 > 0:22:10the club is going to continue to be run, if it stays the way

0:22:10 > 0:22:13it is at the moment, will not subside based

0:22:13 > 0:22:17upon the cancellation of a march.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22But with the team's Premier League future

0:22:22 > 0:22:23far from guaranteed, the fans' support for

0:22:24 > 0:22:25the players is vital.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Every club you're at, there's grievances against owners,

0:22:27 > 0:22:32there's grievances against managers or members of the club.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36All you want to do is make sure your club is in the right

0:22:36 > 0:22:38position and hopefully we'll have nearly 60,000 at the game again

0:22:38 > 0:22:42tomorrow and they will get behind the team.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46West Ham will remember the great Bobby Moore tomorrow,

0:22:46 > 0:22:48something to unite the fans and the club, for now.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Emma Jones, BBC London News.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57They're the London dance group who performed at the 2012

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Paralympics alongside Coldplay.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Now they're taking their message of 'how to be more

0:23:02 > 0:23:04inclusive' to South Korea.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Candoco are going to be performing as part of the cultural events

0:23:07 > 0:23:11at the Winter Games.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Wendy Hurrell went to meet them during rehearsals

0:23:13 > 0:23:15before they head off.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Contemporary dance by Candoco.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22For 27 years, this company has had disabled and non-disabled

0:23:22 > 0:23:27dancers performing together on the same stage.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31I enjoy the conversation around disability, around body,

0:23:31 > 0:23:34about what they're seeing on stage and what is not seen

0:23:34 > 0:23:36and I think that is a really important part of Candoco.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39In the rehearsal rooms at Sadlers Wells, the final practice

0:23:39 > 0:23:44for tonight and tomorrow's double bill show.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49We have different abilities, conditions, so when a choreographer

0:23:49 > 0:23:53comes into the company and works with us, you know, they just

0:23:53 > 0:23:59cannot make assumptions about how we function.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01We have a much more collaborative environment.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03We bring in as our tools, my crutches or a wheelchair etc,

0:24:03 > 0:24:05that's all part of who we are.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08We make it our own because we all dancers are a big part

0:24:08 > 0:24:10of the creation process as well.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Then the whole company is heading to Pyeongchang

0:24:12 > 0:24:14for the Winter Paralympics.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18It is so relevant globally and where the UK stands in terms

0:24:18 > 0:24:21of diversity is one place, and we do visit places

0:24:21 > 0:24:24where it is less prevalent.

0:24:24 > 0:24:32We're going to Korea on Sunday?

0:24:32 > 0:24:37I think we are going on Sunday!

0:24:37 > 0:24:41My bag is packed over there.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Another chance to put their inclusive message

0:24:44 > 0:24:45on the world stage.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47They performed with Coldplay at the 2012

0:24:47 > 0:24:52Paralympic closing ceremony.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56There has been a huge shift that I think affected us all.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58The whole ecology is different now.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02But I think there is a long way to go.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Wendy Hurrell, BBC London News.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Let's get a check on the weekend weather with Ben.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10And not quite a scorcher.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18But not far off given what we are about recently. It will feel

0:25:18 > 0:25:22different to a week ago but today was one of those days where it is

0:25:22 > 0:25:25you left for work without an umbrella you might regret it on the

0:25:25 > 0:25:29way home because it has been the story of the weather going downhill.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33You had to be out early to see any brightness, there was some in

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Stevenage earlier but by the afternoon we had cloud coming in and

0:25:36 > 0:25:42outbreaks of rain. The radar picture shows what has been going on

0:25:42 > 0:25:46clearly, the rain light and patchy as it spread in this afternoon to

0:25:46 > 0:25:49start with but it has now turned heavy, not great if you're going out

0:25:49 > 0:25:55in the next few hours. Some of the rain is heavy and that will continue

0:25:55 > 0:26:00to move northwards and eastwards through the night. In the early

0:26:00 > 0:26:04hours of Saturday things are drying out a bit, maybe with some clear

0:26:04 > 0:26:10spells and a lot of cloud but it will not be cold, starting at seven,

0:26:10 > 0:26:14eight, nine or 10 degrees. Some cloud and shows to start with but

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I'm hopeful it will break up and that is when we could get some

0:26:17 > 0:26:22sunshine. It is that sunshine that will send the template is up, maybe

0:26:22 > 0:26:30some rain coming into the West later but if you get the sunshine, 14 or

0:26:30 > 0:26:3515 degrees although it will be fairly breezy. Through Saturday

0:26:35 > 0:26:38night we look to the continent because there is an area of heavy

0:26:38 > 0:26:44rain that looks like it might spread north weights, that looks like it

0:26:44 > 0:26:49might avoid us but in Kent or East London it could move in on the early

0:26:49 > 0:26:52part of Sunday. On Sunday we are likely to start with mist and fog

0:26:52 > 0:26:56which should clear to leave some sunshine. But some hefty showers

0:26:56 > 0:27:01coming through, maybe the odd bit of thunder and lightning but still

0:27:01 > 0:27:10mild, 12 or 13 degrees. Can it last? In a word, yes. Going into next week

0:27:10 > 0:27:14we keep the double digit tempered is that there will be some rain at

0:27:14 > 0:27:16times both certainly a different feeling.

0:27:19 > 0:27:20A reminder of the headlines...

0:27:20 > 0:27:22200 Army officers trained in chemical warfare have been

0:27:22 > 0:27:24deployed to Salisbury to help the investigation into

0:27:24 > 0:27:29the poisoning of a ex-Russian spy and his daughter.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34That's it.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37There is more on the website, Facebook page and on Twitter.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Asad Ahmad will be back later during the ten o'clock news,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42but for now, from everyone on the team, have a lovely evening.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Goodbye.
