:00:19. > :00:21.some relating to child protection - have been dumped in
:00:22. > :00:28.an unlocked storeroom on an estate in south London.
:00:29. > :00:31.The papers show names and addresses and now a survivors group
:00:32. > :00:33.for child sex abuse victims in Lambeth has contacted us,
:00:34. > :00:36.saying the hoard could include files relating to abuse at a local

:00:45. > :00:49.Concerned resident Mitchell Krishnan contacted BBC London
:00:50. > :00:54.But on closer inspection, it was clear the documents
:00:55. > :01:04.Lambeth ACPC child protection interagency protection...
:01:05. > :01:13.This is data protection against possibly child abuse or whatever.
:01:14. > :01:18.The piles of Lambeth Council paperwork have been stored
:01:19. > :01:20.in the unlocked ground floor storeroom as long
:01:21. > :01:25.They also include names and addresses of families
:01:26. > :01:30.It's a disgusting thing, that it's just left here
:01:31. > :01:32.for anybody, like myself, and yourself to be able to see this
:01:33. > :01:34.information and possibly use it in an horrible,
:01:35. > :01:43.ugly way that it possibly it could be used in.
:01:44. > :01:49.It's not, it's not being protected while it's exposed like this, is it?
:01:50. > :01:51.We took some of the documents to a leading solicitor on data
:01:52. > :01:58.This is very serious from the council's perspective...
:01:59. > :02:00.He's worked for the Australian government and the Obama
:02:01. > :02:03.administration in the US, advising on data protection issues
:02:04. > :02:07.and says this kind of security failure is being taken increasingly
:02:08. > :02:12.seriously by the courts under the Data Protection Act.
:02:13. > :02:13.Organisations have very serious responsibilities around
:02:14. > :02:18.the data that they hold and the data they create.
:02:19. > :02:23.So if a local council were to just dispose of data in a basement

:02:39. > :02:40.in Croydon, and leads the survivors group.
:02:41. > :02:43.He says he's been told by Lambeth Council 140 boxes
:02:44. > :02:46.of documents have gone missing relating to the case.
:02:47. > :02:52.He wants to be sure these files were not left in this store room.
:02:53. > :02:56.I think about those care files being people, human beings,
:02:57. > :02:58.and I think about their stories being left just in any situation,
:02:59. > :03:04.But we also think about what we believe has been a cover-up,
:03:05. > :03:07.and it's consistent with what we know Lambeth have done

:03:20. > :03:22.while in the care of Lambeth Council, was said to be
:03:23. > :03:25.on an industrial scale, stretching back to the 1960s.
:03:26. > :03:28.A former detective working on the case then says this

:03:44. > :03:45.Who actually put them there, and what was the reason for these
:03:46. > :03:54.sensitive documents being placed in effectively an insecure basement?
:03:55. > :03:57.Because the continuity and integrity of that documentation could be
:03:58. > :04:01.the difference between a successful or a failed conviction at court.
:04:02. > :04:04.It will be a painstaking job, going through these files,
:04:05. > :04:07.but there are many people who want questions answered.
:04:08. > :04:13.How did they get to this store room and why?
:04:14. > :04:21.Well, we asked Lambeth Council for an interview but they declined.
:04:22. > :04:41.Protestors angry at the death of a black man following a police
:04:42. > :04:43.chase have blocked a road in east London.
:04:44. > :04:50.Crowds have gathered in response to the death of Rashan Charles
:04:51. > :04:52.who died on Saturday after unverified video footage
:04:53. > :04:54.showed him being restrained by a police officer.
:04:55. > :04:57.Alpa Patel has the details, and Alpa, as well as the trouble,
:04:58. > :05:02.some developments tonight as far as the investigation is concerned?
:05:03. > :05:09.Yes, the death has caused a lot of anger in the local community and is
:05:10. > :05:16.the subject of an independent police investigation. Rashan Charles was
:05:17. > :05:20.chased into a shop in Hackney last Saturday. Pictures show a police
:05:21. > :05:25.officer tackling him to the ground. A member of the public also helping.
:05:26. > :05:29.Police say Rashan was trying to swallow something as he was
:05:30. > :05:33.struggling and when he arrived at hospital he was pronounced dead.
:05:34. > :05:35.Since last Saturday, there have been angry scenes near the shop where
:05:36. > :05:41.this happened. Tonight, protesters are out again, some have clashed
:05:42. > :05:45.with police, as these pictures show. I have just spoken to the police and
:05:46. > :05:51.they say the protests are still ongoing, even though no arrests have
:05:52. > :05:53.taken place so far. There is an IPCC investigation, perhaps telling that
:05:54. > :05:58.they are updating us on the investigation even though it is not
:05:59. > :06:05.yet concluded. The Kbits of that say that they are looking through body
:06:06. > :06:11.camera footage and CCTV not in public domain. This is the third
:06:12. > :06:16.death in five weeks, in contact with police. It is an extremely tense
:06:17. > :06:22.time when it comes to community relations. A tweet by Hackney police
:06:23. > :06:26.says that officers have been subjected to abuse and violence and
:06:27. > :06:28.that would not be the wish of the family. We will keep a close eye on
:06:29. > :06:29.what is happening. Thank you. Let's find out what the weather's
:06:30. > :06:33.going to be like tonight and for the weekend,
:06:34. > :06:41.with Jay. It, since God, but it didn't take
:06:42. > :06:44.long for the cloud to thicken up. By the middle of the afternoon we were
:06:45. > :06:47.seeing some light rain and drizzle. Some rain around at the moment but
:06:48. > :06:51.it will clear away. Tomorrow, we get off to a dry start. Make the most of
:06:52. > :06:55.that because there will be rain coming in later on. Wet for a time
:06:56. > :06:57.overnight tonight. By the end of the night, any rain is confined to the
:06:58. > :07:12.far south-east. The skies will be clearing for many of us.
:07:13. > :07:15.Temperatures of 40 or 50 degrees by dawn with a bit of a breeze. The
:07:16. > :07:17.further north you are, a bright start. Good spells of sunshine. Make
:07:18. > :07:20.the most of the morning, that is when you will see the best of the
:07:21. > :07:22.dry and right whether through the afternoon. As you go through the
:07:23. > :07:25.afternoon, some of the rain could turn out to be on the heavy side.
:07:26. > :07:28.Top temperatures, getting into the upper teens, maybe the low 20s. It's
:07:29. > :07:30.going to feel a bit cooler underneath all that rain. Let's look
:07:31. > :07:31.at the Outlook. Sunday looks like a better day overall. Monday or
:07:32. > :07:33.Tuesday, largely dry. at the Outlook. Sunday looks like a
:07:34. > :07:39.better day overall. Monday or Tuesday, largely dry.
:07:40. > :07:44.Hello, I am sure anybody on holiday in the UK right now is not too
:07:45. > :07:49.impressed with the holiday. This weather watcher picture sums things
:07:50. > :07:53.up. In Highland Scotland, at least there was some sunshine between the
:07:54. > :07:57.downpours. Further south across England and Wales, thickening cloud,
:07:58. > :08:01.outbreaks of rain, initially heavier in Wales, and then in northern
:08:02. > :08:03.England pushing to the North Sea. Dribs and drabs of rain heading
:08:04. > :08:08.across the Midlands to the south-east. Walt two heavy bursts
:08:09. > :08:12.and gusty wind in the south-east ahead of the rain. Later, skies were
:08:13. > :08:16.clear and the wind will drop a bit. In the north-west, we are going to
:08:17. > :08:20.hang on to the showers. Temperatures about 12 or 13 degrees. Into the
:08:21. > :08:24.start of the weekend, some more showers around and some sunshine for
:08:25. > :08:28.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Showers initially near the north
