very much again at the Emirates Stadium. Natalie Perks. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
More now on the secret recording of the leader | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
of Surrey County Council describing his negotiations | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
with the government before scrapping plans for a huge rise in council tax | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The Prime Minister has repeatedly denied that Surrey had been given | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
a special deal to drop the proposed 15% hike. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
But in a meeting with his own councillors, David Hodge said | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
the government "will sort the funding out for | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
BBC South East's Political Editor, Helen Catt, has this | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
It was the row that threatened to leave the government | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
A major Conservative council saying it had been forced into an massive | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
tax hike because it didn't have enough money to look | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
I think it is important that politicians stand up and tell | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
the truth and be honest with the residents and tell them | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
But at the 11th hour, the 15% rise was dramatically abandoned, | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
sparking claims of a secret deal with the government. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Can the Prime Minister tell the house whether or not a special | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The decision as to whether or not to hold a referendum in Surrey | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
is entirely a matter for the local authority in Surrey. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Number Ten denied any sweetheart deal had been struck. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
David Hodge said the decision had been Surrey's alone | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Tonight, though, we can reveal secret recordings of a meeting | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
between David Hodge and Conservative councillors which show conversations | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
had been taking place between the Surrey leader | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and the Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, just hours before | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
David Hodge also revealed that the threat of a referendum | :01:53. | :02:14. | |
Why shouldn't every council get this sort of deal? | :02:15. | :03:02. | |
Why is it a deal that's been done by Conservative leaders in Surrey | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Why can't all local councils have access to this sort of deal, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
given that social care is in crisis, not just in Surrey, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Approached by the BBC today, David Hodge said every leader, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
if they are any good at their job, will always have these conversations | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
He said he was still hoping the Chancellor would announce | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
extra money for Surrey in tomorrow's Budget. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
BBC London has obtained figures revealing how much it's costing | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
the taxpayer to police West Ham's games at their new home, | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
It's for matches for the first three months of this season. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
As Chris Slegg reports, it's once again raised questions | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
about whether the original Olympic Stadium deal was value | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
All calm at London Stadium last night as West Ham hosted Chelsea | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
No repeat of the violent scenes which marred some | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
It's a lot safer, a lot friendlier for families and everything, yeah. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
The early games here, there were problems, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
but I think that's all been sorted out now. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
It was West Ham's last home match with Chelsea, in October, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
At that point, a radio system which the police rely on, | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
It's long been a bone of contention that football clubs don't pay | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
West Ham are only tenants here so they don't pay for policing | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
The LLDC - again, ultimately the taxpayer - picks up the tab. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
Today, in figures obtained by BBC London from the Met Police under | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
the Freedom of Information Act, we can reveal for the first | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
time how much policing at this venue has cost us. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
In the first three months of last season, when West Ham | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
played at Upton Park, it cost just over ?108,000 | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
In the same period this season, at London Stadium, that had soared | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
Concentrating on October last season, West Ham's only at home | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
This season they played three home matches in October - | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
The month's policing cost was a whopping ?238,000. | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
London Assembly member Andrew Dismore believes all football | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
clubs have a moral obligation to pay more, particularly West Ham. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
It is a ridiculous sweetheart deal they've got already, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
where no matter how many police officers are called to deal | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
with a West Ham game, they simply pay the same. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
If you think about the last West Ham-Chelsea game, they had 520 | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
That is the equivalent in the police force of an entire London Borough, | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
When she was pushed on the issue at City Hall in December, | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
West Ham vice-chair Karren Brady disagreed, saying the club | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
abides by the law and pays what is due to be paid. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Many, though, will ask why safeguards were not built | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
into the deal to protect the taxpayer against | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
the added burden of police costs at London Stadium. | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
More than 40 protestors have occupied an event held in Maidenhead | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
by the Department of Transport to show residents plans | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
The consultation evening was being held in the Prime | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Those demonstrating came from various areas in London | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
including Hammersmith and Chiswick, and villages around the airport. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Doctors specialising in treating youngsters with asthma say | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
children's lungs are not growing the way they should | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
because of London's dirty air and are calling for much braver | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
action in tackling pollution in the capital. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Continuing our series, Toxic London, our Environment Correspondent, | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Tom Edwards, got rare access to a hospital treating | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
hundreds of children with respiratory problems. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
At this specialist asthma clinic, you can see the impact London's | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
I have been admitted to hospital about 11 times. | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
And that was last week when there was a lot of pollution. | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
She is one of 200 children being treated at the Royal Brompton | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Her attacks can be triggered by pollution. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
The chest area, I get really tight really quickly. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
If I am walking up a road, I have to use my inhaler quite | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
The mayor estimates 9000 Londoners a year have their lives shortened | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Experts say dirty air stops children's lungs | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
The sad truth is, our lung function declines from early 20s and human | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
life span is really limited by what your lungs can do. | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
If your lungs don't grow to their peak, you will start | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
from a low baseline and find yourself in late middle age | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
What's going on with the air in London is like a giant experiment | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
in how it can effect children's lung growth and we will see | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
the impact of that through to the middle of this century. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
This is Kenneth, who is 12 and from Croydon. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
He has been coming here since he was a baby. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Now, he cannot go anywhere without his inhaler. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Because sometimes you have to wake up in the night | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
and take your asthma pump, or sometimes rush to hospital | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
It is very worrying seeing your child breathless | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Waking up several times in the night to have his puffer. | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
Doctors say the capital's poor air quality will affect more and more | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
people and the impacts could take decades to play out. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
I think it is going to make a definite impact on people who, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
let's say, would have been a little bit unwell anyhow. | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
So people who smoke or people who've been unlucky and had | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
You will find lots of adults with emphysema and bronchitis, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
what we call COPD, we are going to find lots more of that. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
The predictions are, as the population lives longer, | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
we are storing up a huge, almost economic problem in terms | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
of how we are going to treat all these people in the future. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Doctors here want the government and the mayor to intervene quickly | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
And continuing our series, tomorrow we'll be | :09:31. | :09:44. | |
looking at the dangerous levels of pollution that comes | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
That's it for now from me, but let's find out what the weather's up | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
It was a nice day again today but things are changing. The picture | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
behind me tells the tale, a lot of cloud around tomorrow, it will be | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
mild but rain from time to time. The weather is changing right now, we | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
are looking to the West to see the weather front responsible for this | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
balloon is on the map which is rain and we will all get wet overnight | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
with heavy rain at times. It will keep the temperatures falling any | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
lower than five or 6 degrees. Tomorrow looks to be cloudy, rain | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
from time to time, occasionally it might brighten up but don't be | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
fooled because the rain will not be far behind. Maybe a bit dry towards | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the end of the day with temperatures as high as 14 degrees so pretty | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
mild. The rain sitting out in the channel heading into Thursday so the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
skies look bright again and we will get some sunshine, particularly to | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
the north of London and this is the warm and mild air we were talking | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
about, 15 degrees quite likely. The outlook for Friday finds a lot of | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
cloud but probably dry, a chance of rain on Saturday. The national | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
picture now from Nick Miller. It looks like next week high | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
pressure will become a player again in our weather, settling things down | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
for some of us for a time but until then it is low-pressure, rain moving | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
across the UK overnight but not wet all the time. Many of us at a fine | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
day today, this was at you from West Yorkshire and Yorkshire and northern | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
England and Northern Ireland will farewell tomorrow, after this | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
frontal system has pushed on through the UK with rain. But as it does, it | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
introduces milder air so for the rest of the week we will have | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
temperatures widely into double figures. Back to the here and now | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
and that rain which has been like an patchy across | :11:46. | :11:46. |
