:00:15. > :00:21.Welcome to BBC London News with me, Riz Lateef.
:00:22. > :00:24.Police have appealed for information after a jogger appeared to push
:00:25. > :00:28.a woman into the path of a bus on a bridge in London.
:00:29. > :00:33.The bus driver had to swerve to avoid her.
:00:34. > :00:36.Officers are searching for the man after the incident was captured on
:00:37. > :00:45.CCTV. 7. 41, the man jog on Putney bridge
:00:46. > :00:49.and then this. The quick-thinking of the bus driver
:00:50. > :00:53.saved the woman's life. The police believe the jogger
:00:54. > :00:57.deliberately pushed her. When you look closely, you see him raise his
:00:58. > :01:00.hands and make contact. The woman's head and shoulders are
:01:01. > :01:05.then on the road in the path of the bus.
:01:06. > :01:09.15 minutes later, the jogger came back across the bridge here running
:01:10. > :01:14.straight past the woman he previously knocked over. She tried
:01:15. > :01:18.to talk to him. He, just ignored her. Passers-by, as well as those
:01:19. > :01:22.who got off the bus, helped the injured woman. The police say she
:01:23. > :01:26.was shocked and upset but was not seriously hurt. It's very small
:01:27. > :01:32.margins. If it hadn't been for the good reflexes on the part of the bus
:01:33. > :01:35.driver or the level of force was such to push her even further into
:01:36. > :01:41.the road, almost certainly this could have ended in a fatality. The
:01:42. > :01:45.investigation is focussed on finding this man, the mysterious jogger.
:01:46. > :01:49.Detectives say they have received a number of useful calls, including
:01:50. > :01:53.other people reporting similar incidents elsewhere in London. Those
:01:54. > :01:58.leading the investigation stress they believe this was an isolated
:01:59. > :02:01.incident. But struggling to understand why anyone would
:02:02. > :02:07.deliberately push someone into the road during the morning rush hour.
:02:08. > :02:12.The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has told the BBC that tackling hate
:02:13. > :02:15.crime and Islamophobia is one of the best ways of combating
:02:16. > :02:23.It comes as Home Office figures show hate crime in the capital has risen
:02:24. > :02:33.Nusrat and her family know what it's like to be
:02:34. > :02:37.Last year, they were the victims of hate crime.
:02:38. > :02:39.It happened around the time of the EU referendum.
:02:40. > :02:45.One day I left my window open by mistake and when I came
:02:46. > :02:47.kg tomatoes on window, kitchen shelf, floor
:02:48. > :02:50.Three kilogrammes of tomatoes thrown through your kitchen window?
:02:51. > :02:53.Yes, yes, then they started calling my husband names by his beard,
:02:54. > :02:57.They called your husband Osama bin Laden because he had a beard?
:02:58. > :03:02.They smashed my car, they break car's windscreen...
:03:03. > :03:05.Her husband had to install CCTV to capture the intimidation.
:03:06. > :03:08.After presenting the evidence to police, the boys
:03:09. > :03:15.Over the last five years, there's been an upward trend
:03:16. > :03:18.in the number of reported hate crimes across England and Wales.
:03:19. > :03:21.In London last year there were more than 15,000 reports of racist abuse
:03:22. > :03:32.For many the fear of becoming a victim is very real.
:03:33. > :03:35.I can hear swearing coming out or you can hear someone saying get
:03:36. > :03:37.out or you can hear someone saying leave our country.
:03:38. > :03:40.It's why police are patrolling on foot around east London,
:03:41. > :03:43.a visible presence to reassure the community.
:03:44. > :03:45.Superintendent Waheed Khan is responsible for clamping down
:03:46. > :03:49.on this type of crime in the capital.
:03:50. > :03:52.Hate crime can take many forms and all of them
:03:53. > :03:59.Whether it be online and increasingly we are seeing
:04:00. > :04:03.But it can happen equally anywhere, it can happen on a bus,
:04:04. > :04:10.The war against hate crime on the internet is being fought
:04:11. > :04:14.It was launched in April by Mayor Sadiq Khan and works
:04:15. > :04:21.closely with social media sites to identify and prosecute offenders.
:04:22. > :04:24.The police hope that this combined approach of street and cyber patrols
:04:25. > :04:28.will help to reassure London's diverse communities that they can
:04:29. > :04:40.Charlotte is here now. We heard from concerned east Londoners there. The
:04:41. > :04:46.Commissioner has been vocal about tackling hate crime. As we heard,
:04:47. > :04:51.after recent attacks in London there was a sharp rise in reports of
:04:52. > :04:55.so-called hate crime in London, particularly amongst the Muslim
:04:56. > :05:00.community. The Commissioner said today that trend has now fallen off
:05:01. > :05:06.but it is still something they're hugely concerned about. She said The
:05:07. > :05:11.Met needs to work doubly hard to achieve confidence in the Muslim
:05:12. > :05:16.community at New Scotland Yard today she took part in an hour-long radio
:05:17. > :05:20.show with the BBC's Asian network and answered calls from listeners
:05:21. > :05:25.and made the point that if The Met was seen to be tackling Islamophobia
:05:26. > :05:29.that would then lead to confidence within the Muslim community which in
:05:30. > :05:31.turn would help them to tackle extremism and terrorism.
:05:32. > :05:33.One of the ways that we can tackle extremism together
:05:34. > :05:36.is to ensure that Muslims, for example, feel protected
:05:37. > :05:39.and feel properly protected and that we are taking hate crime
:05:40. > :05:46.And I think if you look at the terrible
:05:47. > :05:50.attack at Finsbury Park, a British Muslim and a proud
:05:51. > :05:52.British man, we treated it as a terrorist incident,
:05:53. > :05:59.it's charged as that, that is about extremism.
:06:00. > :06:05.So basically it's about getting the community on board? Well, yes it
:06:06. > :06:10.really is. That's really the key here. She said if you would start to
:06:11. > :06:14.see progress when Muslim communities felt that they were able to
:06:15. > :06:20.influence the police and also when they started joining the police. The
:06:21. > :06:25.hope would be then that if you achieve a level of confidence within
:06:26. > :06:28.the community then it would give you that extra opportunity should
:06:29. > :06:33.someone perhaps suspect a friend or a neighbour, they would then be more
:06:34. > :06:34.confident in getting in touch with the police and really expressing
:06:35. > :06:41.their concerns. Thank you. A row over airport parking charges
:06:42. > :06:44.that has left some holidaymakers Some have been leaving their cars
:06:45. > :06:48.in residential streets near Luton airport, only to return from holiday
:06:49. > :06:55.to find them vandalised. The council says it is
:06:56. > :06:56.consulting about introducing The bond between London and Paris
:06:57. > :07:02.hasn't been affected She's been speaking
:07:03. > :07:18.candidly to BBC London about her view of the UK leaving
:07:19. > :07:20.the European Union. Here's our Brexit reporter
:07:21. > :07:21.Katharine Carpenter. When Sylvie Bermann was posted
:07:22. > :07:24.to the Embassy here in London three years ago, colleagues warned her it
:07:25. > :07:27.would be boring after Well, I think it has been
:07:28. > :07:32.an historic period because I arrived just before the referendum
:07:33. > :07:35.on Scotland and then I had two general elections and of course
:07:36. > :07:38.the Brexit and Brexit is kind Around 100,000 French people living
:07:39. > :07:43.in London voted in the French election earlier this year
:07:44. > :07:46.but they had no say in the UK's Some have already left,
:07:47. > :07:55.not a huge number of people, but some decided to leave
:07:56. > :07:59.because they feel maybe less welcome in the city now and again the main
:08:00. > :08:03.problem is uncertainty. You have talked about the Brexit
:08:04. > :08:06.negotiations as being Do you still think
:08:07. > :08:12.that's a good analogy? Well, that was a funny analogy
:08:13. > :08:22.and I hope in the future there will be no losers,
:08:23. > :08:25.I am not sure it's Does she think the City will be
:08:26. > :08:29.one of those losers? I think that London will remain
:08:30. > :08:31.a very important financial centre but at the same time,
:08:32. > :08:33.some people and some activities will be relocated
:08:34. > :08:51.as a consequence of Brexit, Generally speaking we have a policy
:08:52. > :08:55.of strengthening the attractiveness of Paris.
:08:56. > :08:58.If she's keen to play down any rivalry between Paris and London,
:08:59. > :09:00.she's equally keen to talk up the friendship between what she
:09:01. > :09:04.It's close, it's always been so and also we suffered terrorist
:09:05. > :09:10.attacks and so while there was a lot of displays of solidarity
:09:11. > :09:20.I was very touched also when I was invited to Wembley
:09:21. > :09:26.and the Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales
:09:27. > :09:32.It's understood she's off to Russia next, so what will she miss?
:09:33. > :09:36.I like the culture and the sense of humour as well.
:09:37. > :09:39.So I really enjoy my time in London, it's a bit too short
:09:40. > :09:54.And I'll leave you with Lucy Martin for a look at the weather.
:09:55. > :09:59.Umbrellas tomorrow, I gather? Yes, unfortunately, it's not looking too
:10:00. > :10:03.summery yet. Today we managed to miss the majority of those showers.
:10:04. > :10:09.A lot of dry weather across London today. But as we move into tomorrow
:10:10. > :10:12.we don't look so lucky, heavy rain in the forecast and we actually have
:10:13. > :10:16.a yellow weather warning in place because some of that rain could be
:10:17. > :10:19.heavy, heavy outbreaks and one or two showers that could cause
:10:20. > :10:23.localised flooding and tricky driving conditions.
:10:24. > :10:27.As we move through tonight a fair amount of cloud, a few showery
:10:28. > :10:33.outbreaks of rain. You can see that rain feeding in from the north-west
:10:34. > :10:37.into the early hours. Overnight lows of between ten and 13. Some dry
:10:38. > :10:40.intervals to begin first thing, particularly the further south and
:10:41. > :10:45.east you are. But that rain feeding in from the north-west, some heavy
:10:46. > :10:47.bursts in there and thunder and lightning could be seen.
:10:48. > :10:51.Temperatures struggling with highs of between 15 and 18.
:10:52. > :10:55.We will start to see things improving as we move into Thursday.
:10:56. > :11:00.A ridge of high pressure means we will see sunny spells into the
:11:01. > :11:02.afternoon. I will leave you with the outlook.
:11:03. > :11:07.afternoon. I will leave you with the outlook. It's certainly wellies at
:11:08. > :11:09.the ready tomorrow. Up next the national forecast.
:11:10. > :11:15.I hoped to be starting the show with a temperature league and trying to
:11:16. > :11:17.avoid saying what a scorcher. Instead these are the rainfall
:11:18. > :11:28.totals. Showers in the south-west,
:11:29. > :11:30.underneath that cloud
