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