BBC London has learned that we could be just weeks away | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
from a "unique" fix to deal with two of London's major problems. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
A radical plan is being discussed which could allow our hospitals | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
to sell off areas of extra land they own - and be allowed | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
At the same time, the land could be used to build more homes. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
The great and the good of London politics, in a room, | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
talking about more powers and more money for the capital, | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
The only way we'll make progress in this agenda in the years | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
ahead is if London speaks with one united voice. | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
Sadiq Khan wants more of the tax London raises kept here. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Everything from stamp duty and a new tourist tax. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
It's a wish list, but BBC London has learned there is a more | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Crucially, top officials here at the Treasury are involved. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
As are top officials at the Department of Health | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
It's a deal that means that London's hospitals, | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
unlike those around the country, will be able to keep | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
the money they get from selling off spare land. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
So instead of handing the money back to the Treasury | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
as they do at the moment, hospitals will be able to use | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
the money to reinvest in local health services. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
The land could then be used, in conjunction with the mayor, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
to build affordable housing for key workers. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
It's hoped the deal will oversee the process of selling | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
It'll be a very significant change, because the estate of hospitals | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
in London is worth massively more than in any other | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
It would be an opportunity for using the land values that | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
are often used in London in the private sector for direct | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
public sector reinvestment, either in hospital buildings | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
or potentially in hospital services under stress. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
It's understood the deal should be finalised within weeks | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
The mayor is not prepared to give much away today, however. | :02:18. | :02:29. | |
I'm not in the business of giving running commentaries. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
What I will say is this, I have been impressed | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
by the conversations I've had with central Government about them | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
recognising that this isn't about party politics. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
It's about recognising that when decisions are made at the coal | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Does this give you some hope that you will get further powers | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
And politicians are normally optimistic if they know there's | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
An England fan from west London has been sentenced | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
to ten years in prison - for pushing another man onto | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
32-year-old Christopher Cole admitted "attempting to cause | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
The victim was badly bruised but managed to leap out of the way | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
So President Donald Trump is coming to London to meet the Queen. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
We're not sure yet if he'll also visit what he calls | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
"London's no-go areas" - which he says our police | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
But today, one of his closest advisors - a preacher - | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
was in town, and Alice Bhandhukravi met him, and quizzed him. | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
I invite everyone of you to help me elect the next president of the | :03:48. | :04:01. | |
United States of America! Donald J Trump! Trump, Trump... The rallying | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
cry which in the end succeeded. But here in London Pastor Mark Burns | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
says he's surprised and saddened by the unpopularity of his new | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
president. He is not as he has been | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
portrayed in the media. What about Muslim Londoners who may | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
be concerned about going to America? Because, if your president had his | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
way, they might not be allowed? The president has not | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
waged war against Islam. He has suggested that Muslims | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
are banned from entering This is the media taking bits | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
and pieces of what it is he said and creating the false narrative | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
that isn't true. The president has made it clear, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
he has done nothing other than President Jimmy Carter did, | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
by proposing a temporary ban against territories | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
that are supporting The UK is not supporting or | :04:53. | :05:08. | |
harbouring any terrorists that are out to do harm to you, or the United | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
States of America, so obviously the Muslims in this country don't have | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
anything to worry about. But Mr Trump didn't say that. He didn't | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
say, except for the good guys. He said, I will consider banning | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Muslims from entering the United States, and there was no nuance in | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
that. Isn't that the problem with Donald Trump? I agree that once | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
again Donald Trump has made it very clear he is not the polished | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
politician, he's learning. Donald Trump said something | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
which upset many Londoners, he said there were many areas | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
in London that were no-go areas, I have not seen those | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
areas, but have only seen If you say it isn't true, | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
being a Londoner, I would Do you believe that Donald Trump is | :06:01. | :06:18. | |
just misunderstood? He's truly misunderstood and I don't have | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
anything to gain by saying that. Like most people, only knowing | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Donald Trump through the lenses of the media, not his is -- not him as | :06:25. | :06:36. | |
a person. Now the weather. Quite a tranquil view. Things are | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
quite mild, as we started off the day it was a cold, frosty start but | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
those temperatures have been rising through the day, and through the | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
rest of this evening and overnight we are seeing a lot of cloud around. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
That cloud bringing drizzly outbreaks of rain, but for most of | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
those it set to be frost free first thing on Saturday. Through the day | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
on Saturday the morning showers should clear away and it will feel | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
much milder compared to the bitterly cold weather we have seen recently. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
You are likely to wake up to great conditions with outbreaks of rain. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
By the afternoon a reappearance of some sunshine, 8-9 . It will turn | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
chilly through into the early hours of Sunday. Perhaps a touch of frost | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
first thing Sunday. Through the day we are likely to see things turning | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
pretty wet. Eventually the weather front should push away during the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
course of Monday. I'll leave you with an outlook and pursue to my | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
colleague. Good evening. Not many would argue | :07:31. | :07:45. | |
that January hasn't been dry, but today, many of us had our first | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
significant rain for some time, because the transition is on from | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
cold, Continental dry air to milder Atlantic air, but the transition is | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
a slow one. So we have had ice today, and freezing fog, | :08:00. | :08:01. |
