Eight further people, including a 15 year-old boy, | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
have appeared in court in connection with an alleged attack on a teenage | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
The 17-year-old Kurdish-Iranian boy is still in intensive care. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
As Ayshea Buksh reports, the incident has left | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
He came to the UK in search of a better life, but is now | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
in hospital recovering from an alleged violent | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
17-year-old Reker Ahmed is an asylum seeker who fled | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
He travelled across Europe and arrived on his own in Croydon | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
He made friends with Dilshad Mohammed, a fellow Kurd from Iraq. | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
He was with him at the time of the alleged attack on Friday. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
TRANSLATION: We was all wishing to come here, | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
freedom, college, get visa, working... | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
But now, after what happened to us, we are not happy | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Many asylum seekers have passed through Croydon. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
Lunar House is the Home Office centre for processing asylum claims. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Earlier this year, the local Citizens UK group organised | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
a welcome for unaccompanied children arriving from Europe, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
after the so-called Calais jungle was disbanded. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
We had children, refugee children from Europe coming to Lunar House | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
here and just behind me almost every day there were sort of 200 people | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
out here from local schools, from local churches, | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
local mosques, just ordinary people from the local community, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
out here to say that refugees are welcome. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
So I think that is the true spirit of Croydon, that people | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
On the night of the alleged attack, Reker and Dilshad were on their way | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
to hang out with fellow Kurds in west Croydon. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Other young Kurdish men I spoke to off-camera told me they have had | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
some problems with locals before, but never anything this extreme. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Dilshad says he's still shaken up by what happened and wants to go | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
TRANSLATION: When we was kids, we were hoping | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Reker Ahmed is still in hospital with a fractured spine and eye | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
Fundraising websites have been set up to help in his recovery. | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
Tonight, a football ground fell silent to honour the police | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
officer who was killed in the Westminster attack. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
PC Keith Palmer was a life-long fan of Charlton Athletic, | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
and this evening the club and fans paid tribute to him. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Tonight they came to pay their respects, and to say a proper | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
One of the reasons I'm down here tonight, you know, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
to show my respects, and obviously get behind | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
the team, but do my bit, tip my hat so to speak. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
A scarf was left on the seat from where he watched the last | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
home game against Bradford on March 14th, and so many | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Today the scarf was removed and the seat was replaced by a white | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
one, embossed with PC Keith Palmer's warrant number. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
That will stay in place until the end of the season, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
at which point a permanent memorial stone will be built | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Before kick off, PC Palmer's stepbrother led the teams out. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
The players were then joined by 22 of his former police colleagues, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
as the entire stadium fell silent in his memory. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
These players tonight have played in front of Keith this season. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
They are also husbands and fathers themselves, and when they heard | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
about it, they were moved, because they wanted to send | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
a message and give something towards a grieving family. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
In this corner of south-east London, and indeed throughout the capital, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
and the country, PC Keith Palmer will never be forgotten. | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
Charleton SC paying tribute to PC Keith Palmer. -- Charlton paying | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
tribute. Drivers could be hit by a new daily | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
charge under the Mayor's plan He's previously announced plans to | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
create an ultra-low emissions zone. Today, we learned when its coming | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
in and how much motorists will pay. You can't see it, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
but the air in London, A stark warning from the mayor | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
to these schoolchildren He compared today's air | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
to the great smog in 1952, which led to the government passing | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
the Clean Air Act. If you opened your front door, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
you would step out and you couldn't see in front of you, | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
so it was incredibly visible. This was a smog that lasted not one | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
day, not two days, but four days, But the really, I suppose | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
the critical element was that The mayor has put cleaning up | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
London's air at the heart of his mayoralty and today he set | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
out a timetable for his plan. On top of the current | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
congestion charge of ?11.50, from October this year a further | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
T-Charge of ?10 will hit those But from April 2019 that will become | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
the ULEZ, and that charge And by 2021, that's to be extended | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
out as far as the North and South circulars for the most polluting | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
cars, and it will be charged across the whole of Greater London | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
for lorries and buses, Nowhere else in the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
world has done this. What we're doing is the ultralow | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
emissions zone for central London by 2019, subject to consultation, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
that's the quickest we can go. We're going to go London wide | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
for lorries, coaches and buses by 2020, subject to consultation, | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
and the earliest we can do up to the South circular | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
and North circular is 2021. We've got to give people a chance | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to move away from diesel. That's an adjustment | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
that will be difficult for some business owners, | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
like Jeremy, who runs this It's going to make a huge | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
impact to the business, because it means virtually changing | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the entire fleet. The five we've changed her body cost | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
just under ?750,000 and to upgrade the rest of the fleet will cost | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
about ?2 million. Not the sort of money you keep | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
in your back pocket. But for green campaigners it falls | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
short of what the Mayor I was absolutely | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
expecting much more. We were hoping that heavy | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
goods vehicles, lorries, buses and coaches would all have | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
to be ULEZ compliant by 2019. That's been pushed back to 2020, | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
and that means more people being exposed to more dirty | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
air for longer. The mayor hopes that introducing | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
the ULEZ will lead to a 50% cut There will now be a public | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
consultation on the plans. So as we've heard former | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Mayor Ken Livingstone has been suspended from the Labour Party | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
following a disciplinary hearing It's not the first time | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
the outspoken politician has fallen It was 31 years ago that | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Ken Livingstone waved goodbye He'd been its leader for five years, | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
building a reputation on keeping fares down and courting controversy | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
with some of the company he kept But he wasn't out of power | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
for long, becoming MP Never far from the headlines, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
London's former lead politician decided he'd have a tilt at the top | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
job again, when Tony Blair's government decided | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
that capital needed a mayor. Folk hero to some, dangerous | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
extremist to others, Ken Livingstone's always been | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
a colourful character. Only Tony Blair didn't | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
want Ken Livingstone. I think that would be disastrous | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
for the Labour Party, Frank Dobson was selected | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
as Labour's candidate, You can say now, are you going | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
to support me or are you going Ken Livingstone leaving | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the Labour Party, to I have been forced to choose | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
between the party I love and who I've given 31 | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
years of my life to, and upholding the democratic | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
rights of Londoners. He won easily, back | :08:40. | :08:40. | |
running London once more. As I was saying before I was so | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
rudely interrupted 14 years ago... And before long, the Labour | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Party let him back in. It looks very much as if red Ken | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
is having the last laugh. He went on to win the mayoral race | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
as Labour's candidate the following year, but in 2005 | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
became involved in a high profile anti-Semitism row, | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
after these comments to a newspaper reporter one | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
night outside City Hall. It led him to being temporarily | :09:04. | :09:20. | |
suspended from office a year later, and at the next election he lost | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
to Boris Johnson. Ken Livingstone was proudly rolled | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
out as one of Sadiq Khan's early backers when he decided to run | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
for mayor, but after the outburst that got him into trouble, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Labour's candidate for City Hall I'm disgusted and appalled | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
by what Ken has been saying. Of course there has to be | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
due process, but he's Tonight Ken Livingstone's been | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
suspended from the party for two years, one of | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
which he's already served. But let's get a check | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
on the weather with Wendy. Thank you, Mrs T in Brentford | :09:53. | :10:10. | |
spotted a fleeting glimpse of blue sky today. I think we will see a few | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
more sunny spells through this week and in those it will feel quite | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
warm, but not tonight. We are going to have clear skies. Almost clear | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
completely out there at a moment and the temperature will fall back, 6-7, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
a little bit lower for some. There could be a touch of frost in | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
sheltered spots. A sunny start tomorrow and a common theme in the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
next few days, rather more cloudy afternoon. Average temperatures up | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
to about 14 degrees. This Thursday we'll be chasing some cloud around, | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
some sunny from time to time and it will take one of those to get | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
temperatures up to about 15 degrees. Light winds and dry again. On the | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
outlook, more of the same for Friday and into the weekend it warms up a | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
bit from the south, so we could | :11:02. | :11:02. |
