:00:00. > :00:17.So as you may have heard, a meeting is taking place tonight
:00:18. > :00:20.at Kensington and Chelsea Council - with survivors from Grenfell Tower -
:00:21. > :00:25.voicing their anger at the way the tragedy has been handled.
:00:26. > :00:27.So Elizabeth Campbell, the Council Leader, has
:00:28. > :00:33.once again responded, with the words,
:00:34. > :00:38.But tonight, she also added a promise for more social housing.
:00:39. > :00:44.There were plenty of protests outside.
:00:45. > :00:48.The first full meeting of Kensington and Chelsea's council
:00:49. > :00:52.since the Grenfell fire saw and heard the anger of a community
:00:53. > :00:54.that feels betrayed, and from survivors of the fire
:00:55. > :01:09.TRANSLATION: Does anybody remember this key?
:01:10. > :01:19.It is the key of my home in Grenfell Tower.
:01:20. > :01:25.I used to open the door with this key.
:01:26. > :01:40.This has got lots of memories for me.
:01:41. > :01:43.Behind these memories, hundreds of people have
:01:44. > :02:00.Every time I look at this key, I wonder and I ask,
:02:01. > :02:06.what is the difference between us human beings?
:02:07. > :02:09.The family of the deceased are being treated like rubbish.
:02:10. > :02:12.If we are not being treated properly, how can we have faith that
:02:13. > :02:28.If you cannot have respect for the dead, how can we have faith that you
:02:29. > :02:31.If you cannot have respect for the dead, how can we have
:02:32. > :02:34.faith that you will deal with the survivors the way they deserve?
:02:35. > :02:51.The people must choose you and they have not chosen you.
:02:52. > :02:54.Survivors and local people were allowed to speak but only
:02:55. > :02:56.after the new leader of the council was elected.
:02:57. > :03:14.Bringing the commissioners before it gets
:03:15. > :03:21.Would all those in favour of Elizabeth Campbell please show?
:03:22. > :03:30.Tonight, I would like to ask if I can speak directly
:03:31. > :03:34.to the victims, survivors and community groups of
:03:35. > :03:47.That we did not do more to help you when you needed it the most.
:03:48. > :03:50.She promised to build or buy 400 new social homes
:03:51. > :03:55.And promised a new culture at the council with local
:03:56. > :04:10.Promises she will be held to in the coming weeks and months.
:04:11. > :04:16.Just to let you know that meeting is still ongoing. Some other news now.
:04:17. > :04:18.A pioneering way of helping people with dementia
:04:19. > :04:20.is being tried in parts of London and the Home Counties -
:04:21. > :04:24.and its success could see it rolled out to the rest of the country.
:04:25. > :04:26.It uses technology to monitor sufferers and send help when needed.
:04:27. > :04:30.Tolu Adeoye has been to south west London to see how it works.
:04:31. > :04:33.Inside John and Marion Edwards' home, more than a dozen devices
:04:34. > :04:37.designed to monitor John's health and activity around the clock.
:04:38. > :04:41.He was diagnosed with dementia just over two years ago.
:04:42. > :04:46.If I do fall over, this will send a signal to the monitoring centre
:04:47. > :04:50.to note that I have fallen over and they will send somebody
:04:51. > :04:55.It's all part of the clinical trial designed to improve the lives
:04:56. > :04:58.of people living with dementia and their carers.
:04:59. > :05:01.All the information gathered can be remotely monitored
:05:02. > :05:04.and if the technology identifies a health or safety concern, doctors
:05:05. > :05:10.The couple say it has transformed their lives.
:05:11. > :05:14.I feel a lot safer for John and myself as well because I know
:05:15. > :05:18.there is somebody that the whole time who are looking out for us.
:05:19. > :05:20.She goes to choir practice twice a week.
:05:21. > :05:30.She can go out and know somebody is looking after me
:05:31. > :05:34.And this is where all the information is monitored.
:05:35. > :05:37.The Surrey And Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
:05:38. > :05:45.Based on the data we get here, we decide if the person is stable
:05:46. > :05:47.or not, do they need to see their doctors,
:05:48. > :05:52.The trial is proving promising so far and the hope
:05:53. > :06:01.is that it will eventually be rolled out nationally.
:06:02. > :06:04.I think the fact we are able to connect through these devices
:06:05. > :06:06.and look at the information together, it is ground-breaking.
:06:07. > :06:10.Today is the Edwards' 48 wedding anniversary.
:06:11. > :06:12.Marion says the trial has helped John to become more
:06:13. > :06:25.You're a glass half empty person, I tend to be
:06:26. > :06:31.But this is helping you to go the other way.
:06:32. > :06:35.Students in London, are more likely to drop out of university
:06:36. > :06:39.One in ten have been found not to complete their course.
:06:40. > :06:42.And a disproportionately high number of them.
:06:43. > :06:45.A third are from poorer backgrounds or from ethnic minorities.
:06:46. > :06:52.Toby Walker dropped out of an English degree when he decided it
:06:53. > :06:54.wouldn't lead to the career he wanted.
:06:55. > :06:57.It took me until my second year to work out that I really wanted to
:06:58. > :06:59.leave it because it was so much money.
:07:00. > :07:03.He says there wasn't much guidance on choosing a course,
:07:04. > :07:06.high housing and tuition costs mean he lives with his mum in Greenwich.
:07:07. > :07:09.He says students are under huge pressure.
:07:10. > :07:13.Universities, I feel, are treating us as the product which
:07:14. > :07:16.our parents are buying and if we don't succeed
:07:17. > :07:23.bought for us, then we are failing and because we are the thing that
:07:24. > :07:27.they are paying for, we feel like failures.
:07:28. > :07:30.In fact, new research shows one in ten London students
:07:31. > :07:34.We know that costs of living in London are
:07:35. > :07:38.quite high and we also know that quite a high proportion of students
:07:39. > :07:41.in London commute from home, so that may mean they have less time to do
:07:42. > :07:44.their studies, it might mean also that they are less engaged
:07:45. > :07:48.Researchers say some universities, such as here at UCL,
:07:49. > :07:51.are doing much better than others.
:07:52. > :07:55.But they found overall London's students tended to be less satisfied
:07:56. > :07:57.with their courses and that black students are a third more
:07:58. > :08:03.The reality is we may be getting through the door,
:08:04. > :08:06.but we are definitely not staying there.
:08:07. > :08:09.We are having to take on more more like part-time paid work,
:08:10. > :08:11.students aren't able to enjoy university,
:08:12. > :08:14.they do not have a sense of affiliations to university
:08:15. > :08:18.Plenty of work, of course, has gone into encouraging more
:08:19. > :08:24.You may remember Tony Blair had a target of 50%.
:08:25. > :08:27.But researchers say there's little point in continuing to push students
:08:28. > :08:30.to sign up if they then drop out.
:08:31. > :08:33.The focus, they say, now needs to change.
:08:34. > :08:36.Their report recommends new government targets.
:08:37. > :08:39.This time to reduce the dropout rate among black students.
:08:40. > :08:42.It says the mayor could use his new skills task force
:08:43. > :08:45.to look at how to help and it calls on universities and schools to do
:08:46. > :08:49.more to prepare students for what lies ahead.
:08:50. > :08:52.London boasts some of the top universities in the world, the
:08:53. > :08:55.challenge now to encourage students not just to sign up,
:08:56. > :09:05.The chance to rent in prime London locations, is drawing companies
:09:06. > :09:10.to places they never thought they'd be able to afford.
:09:11. > :09:14.Around 20 are being rented as either office space,
:09:15. > :09:18.coffee shops and even mobile repair shops.
:09:19. > :09:21.One of them - is in one of the most expensive areas of London -
:09:22. > :09:34.I guess it is funny that the mobile phone has paid the phone box
:09:35. > :09:41.obsolete so we are bringing it back into public service. I guess we are
:09:42. > :09:44.making the next revolution, the next form of life for these phone boxes.
:09:45. > :09:48.They will make one into a flat next! You can keep across all tonight's
:09:49. > :09:51.developments at Kensington and Chelsea Council
:09:52. > :09:54.on BBC Radio London or our website. We'll be back on BBC One
:09:55. > :09:56.and the News Channel But now, let's get the weather
:09:57. > :10:15.forecast from Stav. Yes indeed. We will see clouds
:10:16. > :10:19.coming from the south. No lower than 16 or 17 degrees in the capital. It
:10:20. > :10:23.looks like we will have a muggy start and early showers. Things will
:10:24. > :10:29.brighten up as we head into the afternoon. It starts off muggy.
:10:30. > :10:33.Light winds. The odd heavy shower. Temperatures reaching 22 degrees as
:10:34. > :10:37.the sunshine emerges into the afternoon and wins switching to a
:10:38. > :10:41.westerly direction, turning fresher. This area of low pressure will bring
:10:42. > :10:48.unsettled conditions too much of the UK as we head into Friday and on the
:10:49. > :10:52.weekend. Wins coming up from the south, good sunny spells around and
:10:53. > :11:00.temperatures around 23 degrees. It is still feeling quite fresh. Then
:11:01. > :11:01.into the weekend, it stays pretty showery. Temperatures around the low
:11:02. > :11:03.20s. showery. Temperatures around the low
:11:04. > :11:14.20s. Hello, good evening. After a
:11:15. > :11:17.turbulent couple of days, the weather is slowly but surely
:11:18. > :11:25.beginning to calm down. We should not see too many more scenes like
:11:26. > :11:29.this, an impressive thunderstorm which affected Reigate. During the
:11:30. > :11:38.day the focus for showers and storms shifted further west and north.
:11:39. > :11:41.Those showers are a drifting across north-east England and southern
:11:42. > :11:42.Scotland. Some of these showers gave a lot of rain
