:00:11. > :00:18.Two weeks on from the Grenfell Tower fire, a survivor has told us

:00:19. > :00:20.how he thought he would die as he tried desperately

:00:21. > :00:23.to escape from the 14th floor of the burning building

:00:24. > :00:28.It's led to sleepless nights for Olu Talabi,

:00:29. > :00:31.who says he feels more traumatised now than he did when he

:00:32. > :00:39.least of all for the people he had to leave behind.

:00:40. > :00:41.He's been speaking to our reporter, Tarah Welsh.

:00:42. > :00:44.When I saw the other side of the building was kind of burning,

:00:45. > :00:47.I didn't want my girlfriend or my daughter to panic or anything.

:00:48. > :00:53.When Olu woke to find his building on fire, from his 14th floor flat,

:00:54. > :00:58.That's when I started tying all the bed sheets together.

:00:59. > :01:05.I already opened the door and I saw the smoke.

:01:06. > :01:08.There was no way I was going to through that smoke.

:01:09. > :01:12.I was dangling from the window and I tried...

:01:13. > :01:14.I told my missus to pass my daughter.

:01:15. > :01:20.She was thinking, what are you doing, like?

:01:21. > :01:23.And I didn't want to look down because I felt if I looked

:01:24. > :01:27.His neighbours pulled him back inside.

:01:28. > :01:30.The firefighters had brought five people into his flat that night,

:01:31. > :01:39.He'd inhaled a lot of smoke and lay down on Olu's bed.

:01:40. > :01:48.As I went through that smoke, I was thinking, what am

:01:49. > :01:52.There's no way I'm going to make it downstairs through the smoke.

:01:53. > :01:56.I don't know if I would have made it through the stairway.

:01:57. > :02:01.I'm not going to lie to you, I gave up already.

:02:02. > :02:05.Inside of me, I couldn't see what was there.

:02:06. > :02:16.I could feel myself taking my last breath.

:02:17. > :02:19.My missus was dropping on the floor, I was trying to pick her up.

:02:20. > :02:21.I don't know what she was tripping on.

:02:22. > :02:27.I didn't think I was going to make it.

:02:28. > :02:40.I don't what damage this has done to me.

:02:41. > :02:45.I don't know if, in a year's time, I'm going to fall sick from this.

:02:46. > :02:47.I don't know what this has done to me.

:02:48. > :02:50.Steve, who lived on the 15th floor, a very nice guy.

:02:51. > :02:53.Since that night, he's learnt that only one person and his family

:02:54. > :02:56.And as the days go on, he learns of more friends

:02:57. > :03:00.Of everyone that died, the one that has affected me

:03:01. > :03:04.Because I can still picture him on my bed.

:03:05. > :03:17.If you've ever received a phone call from someone telling you there's

:03:18. > :03:21.a problem with your computer and they can help you fix it

:03:22. > :03:24.for a fee, then the fraudster has got their eye on you

:03:25. > :03:26.to become one of tens of thousands of people who fall

:03:27. > :03:32.But now four people have been arrested on suspicion

:03:33. > :03:34.of committing the fraud, after a joint operation between City

:03:35. > :03:52.You're told your computer has a fault, but it often ends

:03:53. > :03:55.with the caller taking large sums from your bank account.

:03:56. > :04:00.And the scam is getting more sophisticated.

:04:01. > :04:03.I simply saw this on my computer screen when I was

:04:04. > :04:10.Simon Greaves' computer then froze, he was instructed to ring a call

:04:11. > :04:13.centre and after hours on the phone, he ended up being

:04:14. > :04:16.I felt embarrassed, actually, that it had happened to me.

:04:17. > :04:22.I felt a sense that I had been deeply cheated.

:04:23. > :04:26.It feels like there's somebody intruding in your life.

:04:27. > :04:28.Microsoft has been working with the City of London Police

:04:29. > :04:31.to investigate this global scam and this week in the UK,

:04:32. > :04:35.The police officer leading the inquiry says the focus

:04:36. > :04:41.This is a global issue, but focused very much with Indian

:04:42. > :04:47.I think we have what we need now to work with our partners in India

:04:48. > :04:51.to have a dramatic impact to take out this organised criminality.

:04:52. > :04:54.This has become one of the most common frauds.

:04:55. > :04:58.Over the last year, getting on for 35,000 cases were reported,

:04:59. > :05:01.and the police suspect there were far more.

:05:02. > :05:03.The average loss was ?600, and the typical

:05:04. > :05:09.If people receive a phone call from someone pretending

:05:10. > :05:12.to be from Microsoft, they are being scammed.

:05:13. > :05:16.If they think they've been scammed, they should get in touch

:05:17. > :05:21.Of course, if you keep them on the phone for long enough,

:05:22. > :05:32.The Royal Albert Dock in east London goes back to the 1800s,

:05:33. > :05:35.when it was a hub for ships sailing in from around the world

:05:36. > :05:39.But today, the start of a massive transformation for the dock began

:05:40. > :05:41.in which a new business district will take shape, thanks

:05:42. > :05:49.Counting cranes is an odd hobby, but if you do, you'll have a sense

:05:50. > :05:57.It's not 100% accurate, but then nor are the economists.

:05:58. > :05:59.This so-called crane count suggests that investment is still coming

:06:00. > :06:01.into London and new buildings are going up.

:06:02. > :06:05.Nowhere more so than here, beside City Airport

:06:06. > :06:07.and the Royal Albert Dock, where the good and the great

:06:08. > :06:15.There's a ?1.7 billion Chinese investment in London

:06:16. > :06:18.It's something which could easily become

:06:19. > :06:31.The plans are bold, the models shiny and the signs are encouraging.

:06:32. > :06:36.but I was here four years ago when this was first announced

:06:37. > :06:40.Then, it was all about an Asian gateway into the EU here

:06:41. > :06:43.in London, which is a bit awkward now that we're leaving the EU.

:06:44. > :06:45.I put that point to its Chinese backers today

:06:46. > :06:53.TRANSLATION: Compared to the situation four years ago,

:06:54. > :06:55.I think we are at a more advantageous stage.

:06:56. > :06:58.Although there is Brexit, Britain is now more independent and mature

:06:59. > :07:01.and it also shows more confidence in the British economy,

:07:02. > :07:04.so there will be more cooperation between China and the UK

:07:05. > :07:08.What of recent fears by the Bank of England, no less,

:07:09. > :07:12.that our commercial property is too pricey?

:07:13. > :07:14.Are we also in danger of building too many offices

:07:15. > :07:23.They're trying to attract companies from Asia,

:07:24. > :07:27.so what they're trying to do is create something additional.

:07:28. > :07:31.But given where we are, the price and anything else,

:07:32. > :07:34.this is a fantastic place to come, I'm not worried here.

:07:35. > :07:36.I think other people should be worried about the competition

:07:37. > :07:40.He also assured me that no golden handshakes were offered

:07:41. > :07:46.A gilt-edged investment, then, or a risky bet?

:07:47. > :07:53.The Victoria and Albert Museum has had a bit of a makeover.

:07:54. > :08:00.But it is impressive, very impressive - and you'll be able

:08:01. > :08:10.or just see it now, with Tolu Adeoye.

:08:11. > :08:16.There are some flashing images in this report.

:08:17. > :08:19.the Victoria and Albert Museum in over 100 years, allowing visitors

:08:20. > :08:21.to enter the grounds from a new entrance

:08:22. > :08:24.on Exhibition Road, which is home to some of the most important

:08:25. > :08:29.I think that when they walk in, we'll see a lot of jaws drop

:08:30. > :08:36.We get a much more informal entrance to the visitor.

:08:37. > :08:38.You have, over on Cromwell Road, quite a traditional,

:08:39. > :08:40.almost cathedral-like entrance to the museum, which can be quite

:08:41. > :08:46.In Victorian times when the museum was set up, this was where

:08:47. > :08:53.I remember this moment halfway through the project

:08:54. > :08:57.where we took the scaffolds down and it was like we were in

:08:58. > :09:02.The work we've done here is so diverse,

:09:03. > :09:12.the work detailing scheduling every single stone so it can be

:09:13. > :09:15.there's these beautiful manufactured porcelain tiles.

:09:16. > :09:22.All of those things are exactly what our mission here is.

:09:23. > :09:26.It's a museum of art and design and manufacturing,

:09:27. > :09:28.and that is exactly what this space is telling.

:09:29. > :09:30.And the changes don't stop above ground.

:09:31. > :09:32.A brand-new gallery has been constructed underneath the courtyard

:09:33. > :09:36.which will host some of the museum's biggest exhibitions.

:09:37. > :09:38.To have something that has been purpose-built and designed to house

:09:39. > :09:44.A free week-long festival will mark the opening of the new entrance

:09:45. > :09:49.bringing, its creators say, the city into the museum and taking the V

:09:50. > :10:10.And that is the only place in the world with porcelain floor tiles.

:10:11. > :10:15.Now the weather. The brightest thing in north London today was probably

:10:16. > :10:20.the flowers. We did quite well, actually. It was much wetter further

:10:21. > :10:23.north and west of us. But all this cloud over night is at least going

:10:24. > :10:30.to help keep temperatures up. Not a cold start on Thursday. But you will

:10:31. > :10:34.not need your sunglasses. I'm afraid it is going to stay cloudy. Like

:10:35. > :10:38.today, there will be enough clout for the odd bit of rain patting on

:10:39. > :10:42.the breeze. But if the sun does come out, there is a chance we could

:10:43. > :10:47.burst through 20 Celsius. Friday looks to be somewhat writer for many

:10:48. > :10:52.of us. But as is often the way, if you get too much brightness, the

:10:53. > :11:01.temperatures rise and that will pop off one or two sharp showers.

:11:02. > :11:03.Saturday starts on a damp note, but the weekend is not bad.

:11:04. > :11:10.Saturday starts on a damp note, but the weekend is not bad.

:11:11. > :11:15.It looks like summer has disappeared for the time being. Already, some

:11:16. > :11:19.parts of the country have had a month's worth of rain this week.

:11:20. > :11:23.Today, the wettest weather was further north across in the

:11:24. > :11:30.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. About an inch of rain in some places. This

:11:31. > :11:31.picture was taken by a weather watcher at Headingley in
