:00:14. > :00:19.First tonight, a stinging criticism from the Mayor who's called

:00:20. > :00:21.the Prime Minister "the most anti-London party leader"

:00:22. > :00:29.But Theresa May ignored the criticism as she met

:00:30. > :00:31.Conservative candidates in north-west London.

:00:32. > :00:34.However, the issue of immigration - and its role in the city's economy -

:00:35. > :00:36.has emerged as one deep difference between them.

:00:37. > :00:40.Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan, reports.

:00:41. > :00:45.In her approach to business and to the capital's rail services,

:00:46. > :00:48.from our funding for schools to her policy on air quality,

:00:49. > :00:52.today the Prime Minister was under fire from the Mayor.

:00:53. > :00:54.I think Theresa May has shown by her actions since she became

:00:55. > :00:56.Prime Minister she is an anti-London Prime Minister.

:00:57. > :01:00.She's taking money away from our schools, our policing,

:01:01. > :01:02.not helping businesses in London with the business rates hike.

:01:03. > :01:05.I've never seen such an anti-London leader of a mainstream

:01:06. > :01:13.But a war of words there was not - because appearing this morning

:01:14. > :01:16.with her candidates lined up for London's seats, she ignored both

:01:17. > :01:22.In their choice is, do they want to get the best possible

:01:23. > :01:25.deal out of the Brexit negotiations, the best deal for Britain,

:01:26. > :01:30.To do that, we need a strong hand in those negotiations,

:01:31. > :01:33.and that is a strong hand from me and from my team, and that can be

:01:34. > :01:37.gained by supporting my local candidates here in London.

:01:38. > :01:41.The alternative is a coalition of chaos, led by Jeremy Corbyn.

:01:42. > :01:51.Limiting that to 100,000 a year across the UK would mean,

:01:52. > :01:53.on current proportions, a limit of approximately

:01:54. > :01:59.Hello, Jason from CFS, how can I help?

:02:00. > :02:02.This company recruiting EU nurses to hospitals here says they have

:02:03. > :02:07.become integral to the NHS, but for how much longer?

:02:08. > :02:11.We are highly dependent on EU nurses, and we have seen the number

:02:12. > :02:15.of them entering the system decreasing by 92%, and the number

:02:16. > :02:18.of nurses leaving the NHS at the moment has increased by 68%

:02:19. > :02:21.And that's happening already, we haven't even had Brexit?

:02:22. > :02:25.Along with the Mayor, business groups have argued

:02:26. > :02:27.for special London visas or permits after Brexit.

:02:28. > :02:33.We have recognised the need to ensure that where there

:02:34. > :02:36.are skills shortages, those can be met, that the brightest

:02:37. > :02:39.and best are welcomed here in the UK, and we will continue

:02:40. > :02:46.What will be different once we leave the EU is we will also be able

:02:47. > :02:49.to set our own rules for people coming from inside the EU

:02:50. > :02:52.into the UK, but we will continue to recognise the need to ensure

:02:53. > :02:56.the brightest and the best are welcome and able to come to the UK.

:02:57. > :02:58.You're not going to give special arrangements to London, then?

:02:59. > :03:01.We will ensure that we have the rules on immigration that

:03:02. > :03:03.will provide for the economy, and that is the economy in London

:03:04. > :03:10.We want to be able to continue to attract talent,

:03:11. > :03:13.that is one of the reasons why we are the greatest

:03:14. > :03:16.When I speak to chief executives across London,

:03:17. > :03:18.when I speak to innovators, when I speak to investors,

:03:19. > :03:20.when I speak to those in construction, when I speak

:03:21. > :03:23.to those in the NHS, when I speak to those in teaching,

:03:24. > :03:26.all of them are telling me the importance of attracting

:03:27. > :03:30.The Mayor may think he speaks for the capital, but she has

:03:31. > :03:33.a mandate for Brexit across the UK and could have a further mandate

:03:34. > :03:40.A mother who believes her son took his own life after getting

:03:41. > :03:43.into debt says more needs to be done to regulate the industry

:03:44. > :03:50.The 20-year-old was given two driving fines which quickly

:03:51. > :03:57.This is the last footage there is of Jerome Rogers.

:03:58. > :04:01.It is from a body camera worn by a bailiff who had come to collect

:04:02. > :04:08.It started because of two fines of ?65 each.

:04:09. > :04:11.After the bailiff clamped Jerome's bike, he then sat in his car

:04:12. > :04:16.While he was there, that's when Jerome left the house and went

:04:17. > :04:21.Jerome had already paid ?800 but was told on this day

:04:22. > :04:28.The bike he needed to work as a courier was clamped and a request

:04:29. > :04:32.I said to you about setting up a payment scheme

:04:33. > :04:44.At the end of the day, you now have a balance of ?1019.

:04:45. > :04:47.As the bailiff waited outside, Jerome was applying for payday loans

:04:48. > :04:54.He was found dead by his brother the next day.

:04:55. > :04:57.The only time it actually does feel real to me is when I go

:04:58. > :05:00.up to my son's grave and I see his name there.

:05:01. > :05:11.At an inquest into Jerome's death, a coroner expressed concerns

:05:12. > :05:15.about some of the practices of Newlands debt collection agency,

:05:16. > :05:17.although she said the bailiff himself had been reasonable.

:05:18. > :05:19.But several charities are calling on tougher

:05:20. > :05:25.We have found that, despite the new regulations in 2013,

:05:26. > :05:31.we are still experiencing the same problems when it comes to bailiffs,

:05:32. > :05:33.Newlands did not respond to our request for a comment,

:05:34. > :05:35.but the Civil Enforcement Association say that it is important

:05:36. > :05:39.that members protect the vulnerable when collecting debts.

:05:40. > :05:42.Figures out today from charity Christians Against Poverty say that

:05:43. > :05:46.of the 1200 clients they saw last year, three quarters

:05:47. > :05:51.sought medical attention while facing financial problems.

:05:52. > :05:54.38% have thought about suicide while just over one in ten

:05:55. > :05:58.had actually attempted to take their own life.

:05:59. > :06:02.That is twice as many as the year before.

:06:03. > :06:05.Jerome's friends raised thousands for his funeral and everyone that

:06:06. > :06:07.loved him wishes he had asked them for help.

:06:08. > :06:13.And if you or anyone you know needs advice on debt,

:06:14. > :06:16.you can find help and support by going to the BBC

:06:17. > :06:32.As the French president elect starts work on form a government, here the

:06:33. > :06:38.City of London Corporation has dismissed concerns that Emmanuel

:06:39. > :06:39.Macron, a former banker, will tempt significant business away from our

:06:40. > :06:40.capital to Paris. When they met in Paris recently,

:06:41. > :06:47.London's mayor was left in no doubt that Emmanuel Macron hoped

:06:48. > :06:52.to capitalise on Brexit nerves. His ambition - to make the French

:06:53. > :06:54.capital the financial Mr Khan is the mayor of roughly

:06:55. > :07:02.speaking 200,000 French people. Some of them will decide to come

:07:03. > :07:10.back, I will be very happy to host them again,

:07:11. > :07:13.but obviously we will work together with the UK and with London

:07:14. > :07:17.because they live there. On the campaign trail he pledged

:07:18. > :07:26.to overhaul France's labour market, to simplify the tax system,

:07:27. > :07:29.and ease back on regulation, to make There have been French financiers

:07:30. > :07:40.in London since the 17th century and there are still thousands

:07:41. > :07:42.of them living and So here in the heart

:07:43. > :07:49.of the City at the Guildhall, are they worried that the charms

:07:50. > :07:51.of Paris might lure them home and entice others

:07:52. > :07:54.across the Channel? London is the big global financial

:07:55. > :07:57.centre for the whole It's Europe's gateway to the world

:07:58. > :08:01.economy and that won't change as a result of Brexit and it

:08:02. > :08:06.won't change as a result of Macron. A month ago the European Union

:08:07. > :08:10.looked to be in a parlous state. With this emphatic win

:08:11. > :08:12.by President Macron, and the alignment with Germany,

:08:13. > :08:15.it makes the European Union look pretty strong now

:08:16. > :08:18.and they are probably in their best negotiating position they have been

:08:19. > :08:21.for a very long time but the idea that London will lose its prowess

:08:22. > :08:24.as a leading world financial The election result has led

:08:25. > :08:33.to fighting talk from the man behind the project to try to steal away

:08:34. > :08:36.London's financial workers to Paris. In fact this morning he has given

:08:37. > :08:39.interviews saying as many as 20,000 people could now relocate and he's

:08:40. > :08:42.leading a delegation to the US later this month

:08:43. > :08:45.to try to encourage banks But is the uneasiness

:08:46. > :08:53.here in the city justified? I think there's always a bit

:08:54. > :08:56.of a panic when things are new, It probably will happen but it's

:08:57. > :09:07.going to be the junior people that go and that's what people

:09:08. > :09:09.need to realise. Not necessarily the senior people

:09:10. > :09:12.who will want to stay in London. So yes, it might happen,

:09:13. > :09:14.there are probably quite a few million people in this country

:09:15. > :09:17.who might be happy For now then, London

:09:18. > :09:21.is talking a confident game, but these commuters could be

:09:22. > :09:23.swapping the Underground Katherine Carpenter,

:09:24. > :09:30.BBC London News. I'll say goodnight now and let's see

:09:31. > :09:32.how the weather's shaping May feels like it's

:09:33. > :09:43.struggling a bit? It feels more like March! There is a

:09:44. > :09:47.chained under way in the middle part of the week and we will get some

:09:48. > :09:52.sunshine. It will start feeling warm as well but it will come at a cost

:09:53. > :09:55.and we will lose the settled weather but has an heavy showers but we

:09:56. > :10:00.could do with the rain. High pressure has been in charge for ages

:10:01. > :10:05.and it is now in a pincer movement by two low-pressure systems and it

:10:06. > :10:09.is this on to the south that moves up on Friday and will introduce some

:10:10. > :10:13.heavy rain now and then. We will keep on it, but no such problems

:10:14. > :10:18.tonight because once again it will be dry, Saint-Cloud around but

:10:19. > :10:23.enough clear sky for temperatures to fall back, already into single

:10:24. > :10:28.figures -- some cloud around. The south of London in particular with a

:10:29. > :10:33.touch of frost, but nothing severe. A chilly start tomorrow, the wind

:10:34. > :10:35.from the north-east, still a fair amount of cloud around but some

:10:36. > :10:41.bright and sunny spells and it might be feeling a touch warmer tomorrow

:10:42. > :10:45.with temperatures reaching 16 in central London. A sunny day on

:10:46. > :10:49.Wednesday and temperatures should be at the average for May of 17 degrees

:10:50. > :10:53.and then left settled as the week goes on and we could get a shower on

:10:54. > :10:59.Thursday, it will be warming up and feel quite humid, and heavy showers

:11:00. > :11:03.on Friday. At the weekend, we start with some sunshine and showers, it

:11:04. > :11:08.will become drier and feel warm. Now the National forecast.

:11:09. > :11:17.Good evening. A quiet day on the weather front but we still managed

:11:18. > :11:19.to have some huge contrasts in the weather. This was a beautiful

:11:20. > :11:20.picture
