social media on the campaign. That's alm for now. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Welcome to BBC London News with me Victoria Hollins. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Mayor has told BBC London it's vital for the capital to maintain | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
access to the single market after Brexit. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Last week's general election result has raised more | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
questions about the future of Brexit negotiations. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Some are calling for next week's talks to be delayed, | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
while remainers, like the Mayor Sadiq Khan, | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
say London needs to be treated differently to the rest | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
of the country so talent can be attracted here. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
So what does it all mean for the capital? | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Forget Boris bikes, how about Sadiq scooters? | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Whizzing through rush hour, just one idea on show | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The folding one is over there, that's for commuters. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
But the mayor worries this booming sector could be under threat | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
from the uncertainty surrounding Brexit. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Businesses I speak to tell me what they need is access to talent. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
We have got to make sure we continue to attract talent to our city. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
They also want to have access to the single | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
I accept that some parts of the country don't want | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
immigration, even though they may need it. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
London voted to remain in the EU, we want talent and we need it. | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
One in five tech workers are from the EU. | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
A new survey of business owners reveals that three quarters of them | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
are worried that plans to curb immigration could make the current | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Tom's business is all about clothes and how | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
His online tool is used across the world and he recruits globally. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
London has had such a great draw as an amazing diverse open city, | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
that's enabled to us get that talent here. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
I think the rhetoric of the anti-immigration and in terms | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
of the Tory manifesto, that sort of sends | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
They're underperforming, the other things are down a bit, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
A softer Brexit would be welcome news here at this bank. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
The City initially had a knee-jerk reaction you would expect, | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
sterling fell on Friday but then settled for the rest of the day. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Economic uncertainty is always bad for markets but then when markets | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
started to think about this, actually the hopes of a soft Brexit | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
have increased, better long-term growth, stronger currency. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
He hopes a softer Brexit would mean staying in the single market and not | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
No surprise perhaps from City experts who backed remain. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
But what about one who voted to leave? | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
The first thing I want to see happen immediately is for those wonderful | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
three million people from the European Union settle | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
down in this country, that's rich coming from a Brexiteer | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
and the million people from the United Kingdom | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
who want to live in Europe, let them stay and I think that | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
will show immense good faith and we need to show good faith | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
You know what, I don't think we've got many friends | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
in the European Union and we have to win them back really quickly. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
But to other economists the election results are a blow. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Weakening the UK, leaving us at the mercy of EU negotiators. | :03:03. | :03:14. | |
I think this soft Brexit if we are not careful | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
is is going to finish up being the UK not formally | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
but still in the European economic area, like Norway, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
still having no control over what's going on but still paying | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
large sums of money in, controlled by the Luxembourg core, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
no border control, unable to negotiate deals, trade | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
And this seems to be the worst of all possible worlds. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
For now, the City will have to wait to find out what Brexit means | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
for business but waiting and wondering is not | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
So some soft or hard choices for the new Government. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
What are likely to be the main issues? | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Well as we heard, one of the main issues will be that of EU citizens. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
There are about a million living here in the capital. Many work for | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
the key institutions, that of the NHS, so extremely valuable to many | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
of the residents here in London. A report out today will be of great | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
concern to people like the mayor who wants to encourage foreigners to | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
keep coming here. This report actually states that last July 1300 | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
applications came from EU nurses. This April, that was down to 46, so | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
a really significant drop. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
said reassuring those EU citizens will be one of his key priorities. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Theresa May obviously will have a few different people advising her | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
now. Is that likely to have any implications? What's really | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
interesting there, you will know that Gavin Barwell, the MP for | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Croydon lost his seat this time. A real Remainer, he wanted to stay in | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
the EU and he has a new job, the ear of the Prime Minister as her new | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Chief of Staff. It will also be extremely interesting to keep an eye | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
on the Chancellor Philip Hammond. He is due to make another soft | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Brexiteer, due to make a Mansion House speech at the City of London | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
this week t may give us more clues. Let's wait and see. Thank you very | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
much. The mother of Charlie Gard has | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
shared a photo of her son with his eyes open, as she waits | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
to find out if his life-support Connie Yates posted the image | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
on social media with the message Specialists want the 10-month-old | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
moved to palliative care, but his parents are fighting | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
to take their son to The European Court of Human Rights | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
is currently considering the case. BBC London has learnt | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
that the capital's tram fleet could be fitted | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
with speed monitoring devices. The devices would alert the driver | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
if they are breaking speed limits or the system could also | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
automatically apply the brake. Seven people died last November | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
when a tram derailed in Croydon, after it went too fast | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
into a tight corner. The London Fire Brigade says 15 | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
people have died over the last three years after creams caught | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
alight on clothing. One of those was | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
88-year-old Hilda Batten. Many of the so-called emollient | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
creams contain paraffin and petroleum which can act | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
like the wick of Regulators are considering | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
whether they should carry warnings. It's been soaking into | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
bed clothes, soaking What happens, particularly | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
if they're smoking, smoking is probably the worst case, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
if they drop a cigarette, it means that instead of that | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
cigarette just going out, the fumes from that emollient | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
cream help the flames The Duchess of Cambridge has been | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
meeting victims of the London Bridge terror attack who are recovering | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
at King's College Hospital. She's also met some of the doctors | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
and nurses who treated those who were hurt in the attack, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
which saw three Islamist militants crash a van into crowds on London | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Bridge before attacking people with knives around | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
nearby Borough Market. Here's the BBC's Royal | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Correspondent, Peter Hunt. A senior royal and those | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
who responded to the Nine days on, several patients | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
continue to be cared for here. It's everyone, isn't it, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
the team that's involved. The first of the injured arrived | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
in the back of a police van. King's College Hospital is sadly | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
well used to treating stab victims, The amount of female | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
patients that were involved, which I think was quite traumatic | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
for the staff, and for Also, patients were very distressed, | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
and the people that brought them in, as well, it was all just unfolding | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
in front of us. This hospital is one of five that | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
responded to the terror attack. The skill of the surgeons | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
and quality of the care provided has meant that everyone who made it | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to hospital has survived. One of them is Candice Hedge, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
reunited here with her family. One was standing in the corner. One | :07:54. | :08:20. | |
was stabbed by one, the one beside me was shouting. He looked at me, I | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
can't remember really what he looks like, it was sort of like, you | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
know... He got me. Two other Australians | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
didn't survive. Yeah, it's not fair that they didn't | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
make it, and I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky for making it, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
but, you know, I just want to try and be as positive as I can | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
about a pretty bad situation. You've got lots of | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
people to support, This is a hospital caring for mental | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
as well as physical wounds, and this is a royal visit that | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
recognises, said one doctor, But let's find out | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
what the weather's up Don't know if it was just me but hay | :09:04. | :09:21. | |
fever hasn't been great the last few days. It hasn't, a lot of sniffling, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
I think. High pollen levels today and for the next few days. The | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
weather for the week ahead will become very warm in the middle part | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
of this week T will be mostly dry. There will be decent spells of | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
sunshine because the cloud will be well broken. As it was this evening, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
this was the picture across the capital from one of our weather | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
watchers. We into this evening with clear skies. So you add warm air in | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
later in the week and also some humidity we are looking at the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
mid-20s but muggy conditions from Wednesday onwards. Not so out there | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
at the moment. There is a bit of clear sky, the breeze is easing back | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
all the time. Temperatures may just slip into single figures in one or | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
two spots in the countryside in the early hours of tomorrow morning. We | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
wake up to a fair amount of brightness and sunshine. There will | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
be cloud that bubbles up throughout the day that will then dissipate to | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the late afternoon and evening. Winds are lighter than yesterday. UV | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
high, pollen levels very high. Yes, you will know about that already of | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
course, but it's going to stay for the next few days. Temperatures, 23 | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
tomorrow. But getting up further than that on Wednesday. Mid-20s | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
perhaps for a few of us. That runs into a very warm and sultry night, | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Wednesday night into Thursday. It will be quite uncomfortable for | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
sleeping on Wednesday into Thursday. There could even be heavy thundery | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
showers. It's a small risk at the moment. That muggy weather continues | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
into the start of Thursday at least, another fairly sunny day but it will | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
freshen as the day goes on so feeling comfortable into the end of | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
the week with a breeze blowing. For the weekend, it's more of the same | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
really. Broken cloud, mostly dry and it's going to be feeling warm again. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Louise has this evening's national forecast. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Good evening. Not quite flaming June today, but there are signs something | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
just more impressive through the middle of the week. Today it was a | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
bright and breezy affair. A lot of | :11:19. | :11:19. |
