independent child sexual abuse inquiry. Join me now on BBC Two

Good evening and welcome to BBC London News.

Three men have been charged by police after trouble broke out

at last night's match between West Ham - who were playing

Despite the heavy security presence, stewards struggled to

contain the violence, prompting more questions

about whether their new homd ground is even suitable for football.

West Ham says its identified 20 people who will receive

Many believed English footb`ll had consigned such scenes to its past,

but last night West Ham and Chelsea fans surged towards one another

inside the former Olympic Stadium, and were held apart only

Seats were ripped up and thrown as tensions between supportdrs

boiled over in the closing minutes of the game.

1,000 stewards and a heavy police presence ensured minimal trouble

outside the stadium before and after the match.

But the ugly scenes left many fans, including children,

We were watching the game in the front row,

Suddenly there were coins coming over and my daughter Victorha

got hit by seven coins all over her body.

The stewards did not seem to do too much at all and let it carrx on

Other kids were hit, in the disabled section.

I am lucky that I have got out and now it is finished.

In a statement, the club said:

we are totally against it, as a club and as a team.

For those kinds of things to happen, especially

West Ham became tenants at the London Stadium in August

and the control of stewarding and security is the responshbility

It has made changes to how fans are segregated,

following isolated outbreaks of trouble earlier this season,

but in the wake of last night's incidents, many feel further

amendments to the stadium are now needed.

I'd like to see West Ham putting forward a plan to the FA

and the Premier League about what they are looking to do

and it might well be that l`rge areas of the ground will have

to be segregated fans, but we need to get this right.

The Football Association has launched an investigation.

Both clubs will be asked to give their comments on events,

but with a string of high-profile fixtures still to come this season,

the pressure on West Ham to achieve a secure stadium is set to hncrease.

Now, with concern in the City over Brexit, some analysts believe

that the massive deregulation which took place 30 years ago -

the so-called "Big Bang" - could in fact protect

Trading used take place facd to face between certain

controlled trading companies - but afterwards, anyone could trade

Here's Tolu Adeoye with a short history of that

It was the day that would change the City for ever.

Before the Big Bang, trading on the London Stock Exchange

was done on the floor, with face-to-face dealings.

It was divided between stockbrokers, who acted for clients,

and stock jobbers, who held pots of shares to trade with thel.

After the Big Bang, everyond could trade with each other

and the deals would be done on computers and by phone.

Alisdair Haynes was a stock jobber during the Big Bang.

The previous day, you had thousands of people walking

across the market floor, huge noise, and you walk

in on the Monday morning and the traded options markdt

was just on its own, and the rest of the stock exchange

Multinational banks flooded into London after the Big B`ng,

bringing trillions of dollars of funds from around the world.

They developed new and argu`bly more risky ways to trade,

Justin Urquhart Stewart was working as a stockbroker.

There is a direct line of c`usation from Big Bang in 1986,

because pre-Big Bang, we took the risk ourselves

Post-Big Bang, we were now taking risks with somebody else's loney,

and so the risk could be buhlt up, somebody else was going to be

However the Big Bang has helped make London the financial

The question now is whether it will stay as strong

if Britain loses access to the European single markdt.

Tolu Adeoye joins us now in Central London.

The question everyone is asking - how can London make

Sadiq Khan has made his views clear tonight. Another night and `nother

big speech on Brexit. The m`yor has been speaking to business ldaders at

the City of London Corporathon dinner and he's not feeling of

confidence as the Lord Matt Jeffrey Mountevans was last night when he

gave a speech about deliverhng a successful Brexit. In fact, he

accused the government of bding blase to the impact it might have on

the city. He said if the government continues with a reckless,

hard-headed, hard-nosed hard Nexit approach and we end up out of the

single market the impact wotld have a ripple effect far and widd and he

urged business leaders to join him and impress arising the govdrnment

to deliver a unique deal th`t would benefit London, Britain and Europe

as a whole. Thank you. The BBC has gained access to secret

files, which contain new cltes as to how four people were wrongly

convicted of the Guildford pub Gerry Conlon, along with his

co-defendants, served fiftedn years in jail before the convictions

were finally quashed. Emma Vardy has this

exclusive report. In October 1974, bombs rippdd

through two Guildford pubs. Five people were killed

and many more injured. Police were under huge pressure

to apprehend the IRA bombers responsible

for these Surrey attacks. The police and the army camd

in and kicked the door in. Ann McKernan was 14 when her brother

Gerry Conlon was We were an ordinary Catholic family,

growing up on the Falls Road You know, my family were not

Republicans. There was no way that Gerry Conlon

was involved in any bombs, because Gerry Conlon wasn't

in the IRA. The accused were brought to court

from the police stations But the Guildford Four were found

guilty and sentenced Charged as a result

of a Surrey Police investig`tion. In 1989, their moment

of redemption came. The Court of Appeal overturned

their convictions, For something I didn't

know anything about! The case shattered confidence

in the British legal system. The Guildford Four claimed they had

been set up by corrupt police. An inquiry into the wrongful

convictions was carried out by a High Court judge,

Sir John May. But more than 700 files

from Sir John May's findings remained private, embargoed

by the Government. Now a freedom of information request

by the BBC has succeeded in securing For the first time, they show some

members of the inquiry refused to accept that Gerry Conlon had not

been a member of the IRA, The papers referred to police

intelligence from the time of the arrests which was

never tested in court. They give us an indication that some

of the problems that we had in the course of the case over many

years, the persistent attempt to try and re-convict the Guildford Four,

was still going on. I would like to see everythhng

that Sir John May saw, all the evidence that was ghven

to him, all the documents that were produced to him, so th`t we can

see what it was that he was able to find out about the case `nd why

it went so badly wrong. Why four young people were convicted

of terrible offences and served an enormous

period of time in prison. I am very sorry that they wdre

subject to such an ordeal In 2005, the then Prime Minhster

Tony Blair issued an apologx to the Guildford Four

for the miscarriage of justhce. It was almost like a millstone had

been taken from around my ndck. Gerry Conlon died two years

ago, aged 60. Richard O'Rawe, a former

spokesperson for the IRA, and biographer and friend

of Gerry Conlon, says there are now renewed calls for all 700 fhles

to be placed into the public domain. It has to matter, because if it does

not matter, we live in a society You know, what the British

Government has done, 42 years later, I'm still

not getting answers. Ann McKernan ending that

report by Emma Vardy. But let's find out

what the weather's up 16 Celsius today, not bad for the

time of year. Further west, look at this gap to the south of Irdland.

It's going to be coming our way as we look to the weather for tomorrow.

Overnight tonight, patchy cloud across the south of the reghon.

There could be a few mist p`tches developing in rural areas in the

north. Temperatures 10-11 for most of us, not desperately cold.

Tomorrow morning any mist Whll Claye quickly. The cloud in the South

breaking up. Decent sunny spells for a time during the morning btt it's

one of those days where clotd will tend to come and go a bit. Ht will

stay dry and it will be a bht milder with temperatures up to 17. What

about the weekend? We have ` big area of high-pressure settlhng the

weather down. This is for S`turday and Sunday. The weather is staying

fine and dry and on the mild side. My colleague Helen

fine and dry and on the mild side. My colleague Helen Willetts has with

the national picture. Good evening. The dry October

weather is set to continue into the weekend. It's been kind if you've

been on half term. Not that I'm promising this sort of weather for

all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the Isle of Wight. Our top temperature

was 17 Celsius, not too far away. What a lovely and to the date here

at Mansfield Woodhouse. We have had some sunshine and warmth. It is set

to continue, but the fly in the ointment is a weakening weather

friend. It's edging southwards. To the south we are seeing patchy mist

and dense fog, around potentially for the morning. Not as widespread

as recently but just as dangerous. Quite mild here but to the north we

have chilly air, just briefly, because come the weekend we are all

bathed once again in the mild Atlantic air. The chilly air does

mean a touch of rural frost in
