0:00:04 > 0:00:14Coming up on BBC London News: happened. That's it from us.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Leaseholders of two Croydon tower blocks are told
0:00:16 > 0:00:17they will have to pay
0:00:17 > 0:00:18to remove Grenfell-style cladding.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Tonight there are calls for the authorities to step in.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26The Government allowed that cladding to go up, must take responsibility
0:00:26 > 0:00:30for bringing it down, the Government must pay for this work to be done,
0:00:30 > 0:00:31no one else.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34We look at the implications for this landmark ruling.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56about her sci-fi fantasy film and female empowerment.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08A very warm welcome to the programme
0:01:08 > 0:01:10this Tuesday evening.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12First tonight, how the impact of the Grenfell
0:01:12 > 0:01:15tragedy and the safety concerns it raised continue to be
0:01:15 > 0:01:20felt across London.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Tonight, leaseholders of two privately-owned blocks in Croydon
0:01:22 > 0:01:25have been told they will have to pay to remove flammable cladding.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27They had argued that it was the building owner's responsibility
0:01:27 > 0:01:30to foot the huge bill, which could be up to
0:01:30 > 0:01:31two million pounds.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The landmark ruling could have implications for people
0:01:33 > 0:01:34living in private blocks across the capital.
0:01:34 > 0:01:44Our Political Editor Tim Donovan explains.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Somehow we managed to get legal support...This man is on to his
0:01:49 > 0:01:54lawyer because the news isn't good, tribunal judgment has gone against
0:01:54 > 0:01:58him and other residents. The cladding was removed when it failed
0:01:58 > 0:02:04tests after Grenfell, since then fire marshals have been patrolling
0:02:04 > 0:02:0924/ seven. Together its cost half £1 million so far and that is a bill to
0:02:09 > 0:02:13be shared between the 95 leaseholders here after the ruling
0:02:13 > 0:02:19the landlords were entitled by the terms of their leases to recover it
0:02:19 > 0:02:24in service charge.We are already paying £2000 service charges, and
0:02:24 > 0:02:29this year it will increase up to £20,000 for some people. I have to
0:02:29 > 0:02:35pay £4000, I'm not sure how I will get that.But that's only up until
0:02:35 > 0:02:42now, new cladding could take the bill to £2 million.We cannot plan
0:02:42 > 0:02:46our lives, people's work is suffering, they are stressed, it's
0:02:46 > 0:02:51affecting our lives on a daily basis.The mayor said the Government
0:02:51 > 0:02:54should end that anxiety.The Government should be stepping in to
0:02:54 > 0:02:58make these buildings safe, then there is a discussion to be had
0:02:58 > 0:03:04about the cost and the removal. Noticeable in this ruling, the judge
0:03:04 > 0:03:07says it is foreseeable leaseholders may have further legal claims
0:03:07 > 0:03:12against a number of parties. The manufacturers of the cladding,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Barratt homes which installed it, and the local council Croydon which
0:03:17 > 0:03:20provided the certification. Finally the Government itself. If it's
0:03:20 > 0:03:25building regulations are found to have been not up to scratch. It's
0:03:25 > 0:03:29possible many other leaseholders could be affected in a similar way.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34We think up to 50,000 leaseholders in London could be liable for paying
0:03:34 > 0:03:39costs up to £30,000 per flat or beyond simply because they bought a
0:03:39 > 0:03:43flat in good faith that the cladding on the outside of it was safe. They
0:03:43 > 0:03:47believed that because the Government told them it was safe, we now know
0:03:47 > 0:03:51the Government was wrong. The Government must take responsibility
0:03:51 > 0:03:55for taking the cladding down and stop abandoning leaseholders to
0:03:55 > 0:04:00their fate. The Government must pay for this work to be done, nobody
0:04:00 > 0:04:04else.Landlords said today they would work to minimise the costs of
0:04:04 > 0:04:11cladding and urged the Government to offer support.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Tim's at City Hall, and could this judgment could have far
0:04:14 > 0:04:16reaching consequences?
0:04:16 > 0:04:24It called, and you get an idea from that microcosm in Croydon of the
0:04:24 > 0:04:28potential stress, distress, some people are going to face if the cost
0:04:28 > 0:04:33of replacing cladding is passed on to leaseholders and the judge in
0:04:33 > 0:04:38this judgment is clear about that and warns people, if they go down
0:04:38 > 0:04:42the legal route to try to get this money recovered by someone else,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45they could become mired in litigation which itself could cost
0:04:45 > 0:04:51money. All that time their homes arguably are blighted and on
0:04:51 > 0:04:56saleable. He seems to hint in this judgment one way the Government
0:04:56 > 0:05:00might go is to provide compensation in some form like it has done in the
0:05:00 > 0:05:04distant past with social housing but he says that is a judicial view and
0:05:04 > 0:05:09he knows this is very much a political decision that has to be
0:05:09 > 0:05:14made.Tim, many thanks. Tim Donovan at City Hall.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You're watching BBC London News, coming up later in the programme...
0:05:17 > 0:05:22This is the home ground of tooting and Mitchum football club, and for
0:05:22 > 0:05:28now also the home of Dulwich Hamlet, one of the clubs that has been
0:05:28 > 0:05:31forced out of their stadium by property developers who own their
0:05:31 > 0:05:34ground.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37A London MP has raised concerns about security in Parliament
0:05:37 > 0:05:43after four Muslim MPs were sent suspicious packages within 24 hours.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45A researcher in Rupa Huq's office, who's the MP for Ealing Central
0:05:45 > 0:05:50and Acton, was taken to hospital after opening a parcel this morning.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Well Marc Ashdown is in Westminster now,
0:05:51 > 0:06:00Marc, what happened?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Rupa Huq wasn't here at the time, she was at a committee but one of
0:06:04 > 0:06:08her staff members was going through the mail, opened this package and
0:06:08 > 0:06:13got a sticky substance on his fingers. He raised the alarm, was
0:06:13 > 0:06:18taken to hospital for treatment but has been sent home on armed. This
0:06:18 > 0:06:22happened in the buildings behind me where almost 200 MPs have their
0:06:22 > 0:06:26offices, next door to portcullis house a stone's throw from
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Parliament and police have confirmed they cordoned off the office of Rupa
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Huq and another MP, also Muslim, who also received a suspicious package
0:06:36 > 0:06:41this morning. They took them away, examined them and found them not to
0:06:41 > 0:06:47be hazardous but this comes a day after two more Muslim MPs also
0:06:47 > 0:06:51received suspicious packages and Rupa Huq says she is concerned about
0:06:51 > 0:06:56security here.It is worrying these things are getting through security
0:06:56 > 0:07:00screening because I know it is rigorously screened. I've seen that
0:07:00 > 0:07:09process happened because it as sniffer dogs so stuff is slipping
0:07:09 > 0:07:14the net, that is a worry but it's also worrying someone out there
0:07:14 > 0:07:16thinks it is open season on Muslim MPs.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20And there are wider concerns about this?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yes, this package also contained an abusive letter and it seems to be
0:07:24 > 0:07:28part of a wider pattern. Over the weekend these letters were sent to
0:07:28 > 0:07:33various addresses around the country, seeming to be encouraging
0:07:33 > 0:07:40people to take part in Punish Us Limp Day. Counterterrorism police
0:07:40 > 0:07:43have launched an investigation into this. As for the packages, we still
0:07:43 > 0:07:49don't know what this substance was. Tests are ongoing, an investigation
0:07:49 > 0:07:54is under way. Downing Street says it is concerned about this incident,
0:07:54 > 0:08:00MPs want answers. They don't have to look far, Scotland Yard is just over
0:08:00 > 0:08:05there.Many thanks.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Research suggests that more than half
0:08:06 > 0:08:08of Londoners participate in some sort of gambling.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10For some however, it can become an addiction
0:08:10 > 0:08:11with devastating consequences.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14There are growing calls for tighter regulation to govern the industry.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Chris Rogers reports from the only NHS clinic
0:08:16 > 0:08:22for gambling addiction, based in London.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28I have struggled to hold down a job, and I've lost every single job I've
0:08:28 > 0:08:31had at some point in time as a consequence of my struggle with
0:08:31 > 0:08:38gambling addiction. My marriage broke down. The cost on family life
0:08:38 > 0:08:44is enormous, it's not just about money.Tony is not alone in his
0:08:44 > 0:08:49battle against gambling addiction. There are 430,000 registered addicts
0:08:49 > 0:08:53across the UK, more than half the population of over 16s in London
0:08:53 > 0:08:57participate in some sort of gambling activity of which one in 20 are at
0:08:57 > 0:09:03risk of having a gambling problem. People are losing a huge amount of
0:09:03 > 0:09:10money. In 2016 the gambling industry made a record £13.8 billion profit.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16I am on a road in Earls Court just around the corner from me there is a
0:09:16 > 0:09:21clinic for gambling addicts. Here across the road, there are two
0:09:21 > 0:09:25betting shops, another one just behind me here, and over there a
0:09:25 > 0:09:32casino. A passer-by has heard to talking to me on camera and admits
0:09:32 > 0:09:37he may have a problem. So you lost £5,000, got it back and
0:09:37 > 0:09:46lost it again?Yes.And I have done the same thing so do you see
0:09:46 > 0:09:53yourself as someone with a gambling addiction?Sometimes, but other days
0:09:53 > 0:09:59I say no, I'm fine.This gambling clinic is partly funded by the NHS
0:09:59 > 0:10:03and the industry. We have been invited here by the Labour deputy
0:10:03 > 0:10:07leader because he is demanding more clinics like these but it's the
0:10:07 > 0:10:11former Labour government that relaxed gambling regulations.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Today's Labour Party admits that was a mistake.We think there's a hidden
0:10:16 > 0:10:20gambling epidemic in this country and yet I'm in the only dedicated
0:10:20 > 0:10:24treatment centre in the whole of England and Wales. So we are taking
0:10:24 > 0:10:34a much wider view and looking at the harm done by gambling, how we can
0:10:34 > 0:10:36pay for it and what responsibility the industry must take.The
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Government is also looking into the issue. It seems the tide could be
0:10:39 > 0:10:42turning against the gambling industry, which has broadly agreed
0:10:42 > 0:10:45to fund addiction support. In the words of this addict, they can
0:10:45 > 0:10:49afford to.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No-one knows for sure what Brexit
0:10:51 > 0:10:52will mean for London.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There is though a small group of Londoners in the heart of Belgium
0:10:55 > 0:10:59who know exactly what it will mean for them - the loss of their jobs.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01They are of course our representatives at the
0:11:01 > 0:11:02European Parliament.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Katharine Carpenter has been speaking to two
0:11:03 > 0:11:06of the capital's MEPs, with opposing views on Brexit,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10about life in Brussels since the vote to leave.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13For 18 years, Labour MEP Mary Honeyball has made
0:11:13 > 0:11:15this journey from London to the European
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Parliament once a week.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20She's one of the longest serving MEPs, still believes Brexit can be
0:11:20 > 0:11:26stopped and denies it's having an impact on her work here, yet.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Obviously, everybody here is aware of Brexit, but we are still
0:11:29 > 0:11:34in the European Union and we're all still getting on with our jobs.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38But for one of the two London MEPs who voted to leave the EU,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41things have been more tense at times.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I thought perhaps one of the things that went through my mind is -
0:11:45 > 0:11:47actually ,will I have to resign?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Will I lose my job as group leader, and I was prepared for that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I said, I thought I shouldn't put my own position ahead of my decision.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The UK has 73 MEPs, eight of them represent London and they earn just
0:11:58 > 0:12:00over 100,000 euros a year before taxes, with generous
0:12:00 > 0:12:05pensions and allowances.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Mary Honeyball admits perhaps they could have done more to counter
0:12:08 > 0:12:13the perception by some that they're living the high life in Brussels.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15One of the consequences of Brexit is that Europe,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18the European Parliament, what the EU does, has suddenly shot
0:12:18 > 0:12:21up the political agenda.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25So now I think we are getting a lot of exposure and people do know
0:12:25 > 0:12:27who we are and what we do.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29For Mary, that involves meetings like this Brexit briefing
0:12:30 > 0:12:31by the Shadow Health Secretary.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34She thinks her party's position is still a work in progress,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37even raising the possibility that MEPs will have a role to play
0:12:37 > 0:12:40beyond March next year.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43No chance, says her colleague.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48My job will come to an end, end of March 2019.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51At that time the UK will leave and there will be no British MEPs.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Will you feel sad about it despite your vote?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Of course I'll feel sad.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I mean, I've made many good friends and it's been
0:12:57 > 0:12:58a large part of my life.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01As for the future, he hasn't ruled out another attempt
0:13:01 > 0:13:03to become London's Mayor.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05If my party decides to select too early and I'm still involved
0:13:05 > 0:13:09in helping in negotiations, then that won't work for me.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Probably when that role starts to wind down,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14when we get closer to an agreement, towards the end of the year,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16early next year, then I'll have to start seriously looking
0:13:16 > 0:13:18for a new role.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20What's next for you now after Brexit?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'm not really sure, actually.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I've had a long career in politics, which has been good.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I should take time to reflect, I think.
0:13:29 > 0:13:37Katherine Carpenter, BBC London News.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Still to come before 7pm:
0:13:41 > 0:13:44We find out the history behind London's Central Mosque as it's
0:13:44 > 0:13:46given special protection by Historic England.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And we're on the blue carpet waiting to talk to perhaps the most
0:13:49 > 0:13:51influential woman in the world, Oprah Winfrey, at the European
0:13:51 > 0:13:57premier of A Wrinkle in Time.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The pros and cons of gentrification has been much debated,
0:14:05 > 0:14:14especially as swathes of London have been bought up to build flats.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Now a non-league football club in Dulwich has been forced from its
0:14:17 > 0:14:20stadium after the land was sold and a row broke out
0:14:20 > 0:14:21over how to develop it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23But is the local council poised to buy it back?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Here's Chris Slegg reports.
0:14:26 > 0:14:26Enter
0:14:26 > 0:14:33Match days at Dulwich Hamlet are colourful,
0:14:33 > 0:14:34passionate and vibrant.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Champion Hill has been their home for 87 years,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38but for now it's home no more, they've been locked out
0:14:38 > 0:14:41by the property developers who own the site, Meadow
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Residential.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I mean, it's shocking really, the actions of Meadow,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47our landowner, have been spiteful.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50They've used this as leverage in their battle with the council
0:14:50 > 0:14:51and, ultimately, we are the victims.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So Dulwich are now locked out of their ground and these
0:14:54 > 0:14:58barriers have gone up.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Now, when Meadow signed their agreement with Dulwich,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05back in 2014, they said they would fund the club.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08The plan was they were going to build flats on this stadium,
0:15:08 > 0:15:15but provide Dulwich with a new home right next door.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Southwark Council though turned down that application last year,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20partly because of a lack of affordable housing, and then
0:15:20 > 0:15:21the relationship turned sour.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Meadow stopped funding the football club.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28They then claimed they were owed £120,000 in rents.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31And last week, Dulwich were told they could no longer play here.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Fans will now have to travel eight miles to watch home games
0:15:34 > 0:15:40at Tooting & Mitcham FC.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41I mean, this is our home.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42This is where we should be.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47It's really quite a sorry state that we're not going to be here.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I just think Meadow really do not know how important this
0:15:49 > 0:15:52is to the local community.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55They are New York based, they don't really have a great understanding
0:15:55 > 0:15:56of communities in London.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58At a meeting this afternoon, Southwark Council were expected
0:15:58 > 0:16:07to waive through a motion to begin attempts to acquire the land
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and restore Dulwich to their rightful home.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Are you confident that you can convince Meadow to sell without this
0:16:12 > 0:16:14being pushed all the way to a potential CPO?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I hope Meadow will sell because it's important that we secure the future
0:16:17 > 0:16:18of the football club.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's important actually that the bit of the site that can be developed
0:16:21 > 0:16:25for housing is delivered as housing and I just hope, as I say,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28that we can do a deal with them sooner rather than later.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Meadow failed to respond to our request for a statement today,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33but last week blamed the club and Southwark Council for failing
0:16:33 > 0:16:43to enter into dialogue with them.
0:16:44 > 0:16:51For now, the future of Dulwich Hamlet lies away from Dulwich.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57Has there been a final decision? There has indeed. I will bring that
0:16:57 > 0:17:01to you from the boardroom here. It doesn't feel like home. They are
0:17:01 > 0:17:07trying to make it feel like home. Everyone is drinking out of their
0:17:07 > 0:17:12pink and blue Dulwich Hamlet mugs. They voted to release the funds to
0:17:12 > 0:17:16bid to buy that site back from Meadow Residential. It might take a
0:17:16 > 0:17:23long time to do so, two or three years if it goes to a CPO. I can
0:17:23 > 0:17:27speak to the vice-Chairman of the football club. The protests will
0:17:27 > 0:17:28continue. You need to keep the pressure on
0:17:28 > 0:17:37Meadow?Definitely. We hope between 700 to 1,000 of fans will be there
0:17:37 > 0:17:41on Saturday and put on pressure. The honourable thing is to sell and go
0:17:41 > 0:17:49and let us get back.That will be a march through Dulwich.Yes.What do
0:17:49 > 0:17:53you think of the situation you ended up in.Nothing to do with the
0:17:53 > 0:17:56football club. It's between the developers and council who had a
0:17:56 > 0:18:02falling out. We are in the middle. They peaked made us pay and been
0:18:02 > 0:18:07very nasty towards us. It's very unfair. This club has been going for
0:18:07 > 0:18:10125 years. We do a lot of things in the community. They have taken that
0:18:10 > 0:18:16away from us.OK thank you very much. The vice-Chairman of Dulwich
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Hamlet football club. This is a home from home here. They are grateful to
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Tooting & Mitcham for letting them play here. They would much rather
0:18:25 > 0:18:31move back to their real home. They will exert pressure on Meadow
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Residential to get back there as soon as possible.Thank you very
0:18:35 > 0:18:43much for the update. Chris Legge.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Some of London's Mosques have been
0:18:44 > 0:18:46recognised for their heritage and cultural importance
0:18:46 > 0:18:47by Historic England.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Across the capital there are around 450 mosques,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51though many though are found in houses or other
0:18:51 > 0:18:56converted buildings.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Of the purpose-built ones, the Shah Jahan in Woking,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00which was already listed has been given more protection.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The Fazl Mosque in Southfields and the London Central Mosque,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05better known as Regent's Park Mosque, have both been given
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Grade II status.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Here's Tolu Adeoye.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So I was lying here as a child, this childhood memory,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13this very kind of fond memory, actually, of sort of lying
0:19:13 > 0:19:16here gazing up, and just seeing this incredible blue expanse.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Just kind of gazing into it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22When you look at it, you can see the kind of scale of that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's been described as an exceptional place of worship.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Now London Central Mosque has been awarded Grade II star listed status,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30recognising its historic and cultural importance.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33While British mosques are typically established by local communities,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36this remains the first and only example to have been built
0:19:36 > 0:19:38at a diplomatic level.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40One of the main points of the campaign to build
0:19:40 > 0:19:47the mosque was that, at the time, and this
0:19:47 > 0:19:49is from 1910 onwards, the argument was that there
0:19:49 > 0:19:51were more Muslim subjects in the British Empire than there
0:19:51 > 0:19:56were Christian, for example.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58But that there was no nationally significant mosque
0:19:58 > 0:20:00in Britain to represent that.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02So that was part of the kind of campaign
0:20:02 > 0:20:04the Muslims used at the time.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07The movement to establish a central mosque in London spans
0:20:08 > 0:20:08for more than 70 years.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Although the first fund for the new mosque was set up
0:20:11 > 0:20:14in 1910, construction didn't start until 1970.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It was finished seven years later.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20From outside, you can really appreciate the architecture.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Regent's Park was picked as a location under
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Winston Churchill's government back in the 1940s, in recognition
0:20:24 > 0:20:27of the importance of the Muslim community in an increasingly diverse
0:20:27 > 0:20:31British society.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The Fazl Mosque in Southfields in London has been given Grade II
0:20:34 > 0:20:35listed status today, while the Shah Jahan
0:20:35 > 0:20:38mosque in Woking has gone from Grade II to Grade I,
0:20:38 > 0:20:39giving it extra protection.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Historic England says it's about time more
0:20:42 > 0:20:46mosques were recognised.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Mosques and the Muslim faith are an extremely important part
0:20:49 > 0:20:51of our national cultural life, but they are somewhat
0:20:51 > 0:20:54underrepresented on our list of the most important buildings.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58So it's really rewarding to be able to undertake this exercise
0:20:58 > 0:21:03and protect the most important mosques and celebrate them.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07And Regent's Park Mosque isn't just popular with worshippers.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10We have about four schools visiting every day.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15We have tourists walking in and out of this place.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18So it is great to have it listed because it is a big honour for us.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22In fact, it is a cherry on the cake.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25With the listings, Historic England says it's about celebrating not only
0:21:25 > 0:21:27outstanding buildings, but also the heritage of Muslim
0:21:27 > 0:21:28communities in England.
0:21:28 > 0:21:38Tolu Adeoye, BBC London News.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's not how we're used to seeing Oprah Winfrey,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45who's been called "the most influential woman in the world."
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Her recent speech about a new day on the horizon for women and girls
0:21:48 > 0:21:49made headlines around the world.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Tonight she's in London with her co-star Storm Reid
0:21:52 > 0:21:54for the European premiere of their sci-fi fantasy film.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59And Wendy Hurrell caught up with them moments ago.
0:21:59 > 0:22:09Ladies.I'm OK.You need an Oprah hug.Yes.We all need an Oprah hug.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14We do.You go on this marvellous adventure that you lead her around
0:22:14 > 0:22:18on. Tell me, was it a very supportive environment with the
0:22:18 > 0:22:26sisterhood here?Yes, it was. Miss Oprah Miss Ava did a great job of
0:22:26 > 0:22:29welcoming me with warm arms and making me feel relaxed. We were all
0:22:29 > 0:22:34in this together. You could really feel that. I'm glad I had them my
0:22:34 > 0:22:37corner to guide me and teach me and pour into me.She's our baby girl.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42She is our baby girl who is on the adventure of a lifetime in the movie
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and is now in life on the adventure of a lifetime. I remember 14, very
0:22:46 > 0:22:54hard age for me. It is for a lot of kids. Trying to figure out, a lot of
0:22:54 > 0:22:58girls, figuring out who you are and where you are. Going into another
0:22:58 > 0:23:04form of womanhood. I've never met a better prepared, more grounded,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07gracious, graceful young woman than this one. This one has got it all.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13She's got it. Mainly because she has been raised by her mummy. Bring her
0:23:13 > 0:23:17mummy in here.Come in.No-one gets this good, this strong, this solid
0:23:17 > 0:23:22this prepared without a mother. This is her mother, Robyn.Nice to meet
0:23:22 > 0:23:28you.Incredible job.How do you now, in your industry, make sure this
0:23:28 > 0:23:33wonderfully talented woman can carry on thriving?See, this is a thing
0:23:33 > 0:23:36that people don't understand about fame and notoriety. Now everybody is
0:23:36 > 0:23:42going to know her face. She will be hard to go to McDonalds. Nothing
0:23:42 > 0:23:46changes within you. You already are who you are. That's the message of
0:23:46 > 0:23:51this movie. Other people's reaction to you change. Her parents have done
0:23:51 > 0:23:55such a great job that they don't have to worry about - is this going
0:23:55 > 0:23:59to go to her head? When it's grounded it does not. When you don't
0:23:59 > 0:24:02know who you are, you believe you are what everybody says you are.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08When you know who you are, oh, baby. Oh, baby. Listen with Black Panther
0:24:08 > 0:24:12and this movie, one and two in the box office, are we in a tipping
0:24:12 > 0:24:15point now in terms of race and gender?It's the beginning.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Everybody gets all excited when there is something new on the
0:24:18 > 0:24:21horizon, which is what I've talked about in the Golden Globe speech.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26This is the new, but we have to continue the new. You can't do this
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and then wait ten years before you do something else. I want to know
0:24:29 > 0:24:34how she raised such a great daughter?I was just a veriesel. I
0:24:34 > 0:24:38was told I'm just the vessel. This is what God intended for her and I'm
0:24:38 > 0:24:43just here to support it.Wonderful. Ladies, have aened woerful evening.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you. They are. Wendy there and
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I could listen to Oprah all evening. It's time for a check on the
0:24:52 > 0:24:53weather. Darren is here. It looked nice out
0:24:53 > 0:24:56weather. Darren is here. It looked nice out there. I could have brought
0:24:56 > 0:25:00her downed and she could have done this.If only.Tomorrow we will find
0:25:00 > 0:25:03a stronger breeze picking up. If anything, it should be a little bit
0:25:03 > 0:25:09milder than today. This was weather watcher picture taken this morning.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Dartford, where we had sunshine. It wasn't sunny all day, mind you. We
0:25:12 > 0:25:16had cloud come over. It gave us a few showers particularly late on in
0:25:16 > 0:25:20the day. Those have pretty much cleared away. Moving away towards
0:25:20 > 0:25:23the east. It should be dry through this evening and overnight. We will
0:25:23 > 0:25:28have clear skies and we have light wind as well. It will be a good deal
0:25:28 > 0:25:32colder than it was last night. Away from town thoses numbers not far
0:25:32 > 0:25:35away from freezing. There may be a pinch of frost. It will be
0:25:35 > 0:25:38short-lived mind you. Sunshine comes up early enough at this time of the
0:25:38 > 0:25:42year. We should see sunny spells throughout Wednesday. Cloud from
0:25:42 > 0:25:46time to time, it may turn hazy, some high cloud spilling our way. We have
0:25:46 > 0:25:50a sorely wind actually. We are drawing in dryer air. The hence more
0:25:50 > 0:25:55sunshine around. Those higher temperatures, 14 possibly even 15
0:25:55 > 0:25:59degrees. That is as warm as it will get mind you. Thursday, looks very
0:25:59 > 0:26:02different. In the morning we have a band of rain that will push
0:26:02 > 0:26:07northwards and eastwards. It could be heavy for a while. Around about
0:26:07 > 0:26:10the middle part of the day it will brighten up with sunshine. We could
0:26:10 > 0:26:15see sharp showers from mid to late afternoon. Temperatures not as high
0:26:15 > 0:26:22on Thursday, not too bad, 11 degrees. We will find instead of a
0:26:22 > 0:26:26sorely wind we get an easterly wind arriving, just in time for the
0:26:26 > 0:26:30weekend. It is the beast from the east, but it's probably more of a
0:26:30 > 0:26:34mini beast. After tomorrow we have got more cloud around. We will find
0:26:34 > 0:26:38some rain there. You can see Thursday and in Friday as well. More
0:26:38 > 0:26:42likely to have some snow for the weekend before it becomes dryer into
0:26:42 > 0:26:46the beginning of next week. Those easterly winds will make it feel
0:26:46 > 0:26:49really cold for a while, four or five degrees this is weekend
0:26:49 > 0:26:55compared with 14 or 15 tomorrow. Sounds good. Darren, thank you.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Recapping the main headlines:
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Police have been giving more details about the last known
0:26:58 > 0:27:00movements of Sergei Skripal and his daughter before
0:27:00 > 0:27:01they were poisoned.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04They're looking for witnesses who saw the pair's red BMW car.
0:27:04 > 0:27:13The midnight deadline for Russia to give credible answers is looming.
0:27:13 > 0:27:22Rash ya said it will ignore the deadline.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25And leaseholders of a tower block have been told they will have to pay
0:27:25 > 0:27:32to remove flammable cladding.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35That's it for now, but I'll be back with our late news at 10.30pm.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You're very welcome to get in touch with your views
0:27:38 > 0:27:38on our Facebook page.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40From all of us here, thanks for watching
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and have a lovely evening.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Goodbye.
