:00:13. > :00:15.Welcome to BBC London News with me Victoria Hollins.
:00:16. > :00:18.More than 30 people have been arrested in a series of dawn raids
:00:19. > :00:25.It's part of a crackdown against knife crime,
:00:26. > :00:28.drugs and child exploitation ahead of Notting Hill Carnival.
:00:29. > :00:31.It's the Met Police's biggest operation every year -
:00:32. > :00:34.but there's been criticism - with some asking if the raids
:00:35. > :00:37.are racist by targeting a so-called "black event" -
:00:38. > :00:39.and more for the benefit of the cameras than Carnival.
:00:40. > :00:48.A very different type of wake-up call.
:00:49. > :00:56.The Met Police's targeted raids at 21 different addresses
:00:57. > :00:58.in just under an hour, all within the boroughs
:00:59. > :01:02.of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Brent.
:01:03. > :01:05.It's 5:30am and about ten specialist police officers as just raided this
:01:06. > :01:13.What we know is seven people inside, five of those have been arrested
:01:14. > :01:16.and one of those has swallowed something so they have called
:01:17. > :01:23.The aim of this is to make sure that those arrested here do not turn
:01:24. > :01:28.What has happened here has taken two months to plan.
:01:29. > :01:30.We start off with dynamic entry when you heard the shouting
:01:31. > :01:34.Then when we have done that, and secured those people inside,
:01:35. > :01:37.then we slow things down and make sure we do a methodical search
:01:38. > :01:39.of the premises, looking for the evidence included
:01:40. > :01:43.in the warrant, so on this occasion it will be Class A drugs and items
:01:44. > :01:48.Those arrested will be built under strict conditions which police say
:01:49. > :01:52.will prevent them from turning up at the Carnival this weekend.
:01:53. > :01:56.In a control centre five miles away, Mark Bird and his team of 75
:01:57. > :02:00.officers will keep a watchful eye over the event.
:02:01. > :02:03.This BBC documentary shows how complex and difficult it can be
:02:04. > :02:07.to police an event that attracts millions of people.
:02:08. > :02:11.Were today's raids more of an exercise of public reassurance
:02:12. > :02:17.Our endeavours are about keeping the Carnival safe and free from
:02:18. > :02:26.How on earth are you going to monitor the people
:02:27. > :02:30.We have a range of tactics which will include obviously the use
:02:31. > :02:34.of CCTV, automatic number plate recognition, and there will be
:02:35. > :02:39.plainclothed officers and other tactics that we will use to keep
:02:40. > :02:47.I don't understand why they need to be showing off and saying
:02:48. > :02:50.we are on top of this, this is a big issue and we will
:02:51. > :02:56.There are criminals operating, they should be doing this throughout
:02:57. > :02:59.the year and it should not just be on the eve of Carnival
:03:00. > :03:05.And today the South London rapper Stormzy waded into the debate,
:03:06. > :03:08.suggesting they Met's tweets on the raids were offensive
:03:09. > :03:14.He said: how many drugs did you lot sieze in the run-up to Glastonbury
:03:15. > :03:17.or are we only doing tweets like this for black events?
:03:18. > :03:19.This has already been re-tweeted and liked
:03:20. > :03:26.Tonight, the Met have initially reiterated the raids
:03:27. > :03:29.were intelligence-led and it is their duty
:03:30. > :03:38.Only three London boroughs are meeting their recycling targets,
:03:39. > :03:41.according to figures obtained by this programme.
:03:42. > :03:46.London's councils are all meant to be recycling 45% of their waste,
:03:47. > :03:49.but the overwhelming majority are failing to do so.
:03:50. > :03:53.Here's our environment correspondent, Tom Edwards.
:03:54. > :03:59.Do Londoners recycle enough of their household waste?
:04:00. > :04:03.No says Paul, a self-confessed recycling anorak.
:04:04. > :04:07.He's even set up a charity to encourage it.
:04:08. > :04:11.He lives in Newham but he's a rarity in this part of London.
:04:12. > :04:14.This area has the worst recycling rate in the capital.
:04:15. > :04:19.Newham has 40% of its housing is flats.
:04:20. > :04:23.You can't easily recycle in flats, without having some
:04:24. > :04:30.Your building in London, we're building on every square foot.
:04:31. > :04:36.You have to do it now whilst you're building new to make sure you have
:04:37. > :04:42.Next door to Paul these flats have no recycling facilities at all.
:04:43. > :04:45.This block of flats, where's the recycling?
:04:46. > :04:52.It's one bin that takes the recycling and the rubbish.
:04:53. > :04:56.This is the whole problem with Newham.
:04:57. > :04:58.Across London there's a mixed picture.
:04:59. > :05:01.The amount of household rubbish the boroughs recycle.
:05:02. > :05:07.The best is Bexley, recycling 52%, followed by Bromley and Kingston.
:05:08. > :05:18.The worst are Lewisham, Westminster and Newham, where just 14.7% of
:05:19. > :05:26.There are lots of different reasons why different areas have
:05:27. > :05:30.Some of them are practical and about space, for example,
:05:31. > :05:32.flats have less room for all the bins.
:05:33. > :05:35.Some communities are less aware of recycling.
:05:36. > :05:39.And different boroughs also have different schemes for recycling.
:05:40. > :05:44.Bexley say they are now seeing a commercial value in recycling
:05:45. > :05:50.In Bexley it's cheaper for us to recycle than to throw away.
:05:51. > :05:54.If anything, we've been trying to put more effort into getting more
:05:55. > :05:59.stuff recycled because it costs us over ?100 a time to send things
:06:00. > :06:03.to the waste to energy plant, when we recycling paper,
:06:04. > :06:09.Increasing recycling rates is a key ambition of the mayor.
:06:10. > :06:14.He wants 65% of London's waste recycled by 2030.
:06:15. > :06:21.Helping the boroughs to get there will be a huge challenge.
:06:22. > :06:24.Another victim killed in the Grenfell Tower fire in west
:06:25. > :06:32.65-year-old Sakina Afrasehabi was a mother of five.
:06:33. > :06:35.Her family have paid tribute to her, saying she was "completely
:06:36. > :06:38.selfless in all she did and always put other people first".
:06:39. > :06:42.An estate agents in East London has been destroyed in a fire,
:06:43. > :06:45.after a car ploughed into the shop front.
:06:46. > :06:48.The car smashed through the glass windows of Portico estate
:06:49. > :06:53.It burst into flames and the blaze quickly ripped through the shop,
:06:54. > :07:00.Next, these two masterpieces by the Italian painter Titian made
:07:01. > :07:03.the headlines when they were saved for the nation.
:07:04. > :07:08.They were bought, in part, by the National Gallery for ?95 million.
:07:09. > :07:12.Now the gallery has once again found millions to save a renaissance
:07:13. > :07:21.Day one for this 18th century masterpiece in its new home.
:07:22. > :07:24.Bernardo Bellotto's The Fortress Of Konigstein From The North
:07:25. > :07:28.deemed a national treasure, will now not
:07:29. > :07:31.be sold abroad, yet it so nearly wasn't the case.
:07:32. > :07:34.After being sold to a foreign, private collector last year,
:07:35. > :07:38.the Government blocked its export temporarily in the hope
:07:39. > :07:42.the gallery could find ?11.7 million and buy it instead.
:07:43. > :07:48.He's the nephew of better known Canaletto.
:07:49. > :07:51.He's an artist that is not as well known as he might be
:07:52. > :07:56.because there's no major work, until today, by the artist in any
:07:57. > :08:01.This picture being here at the National Gallery can now be
:08:02. > :08:04.appreciated by the millions of people who come here every year.
:08:05. > :08:07.What makes this Bellotto a national treasure worth saving?
:08:08. > :08:11.Every time a piece of high-end art is being bought and taken out
:08:12. > :08:14.of the country, a panel of experts must consider three criteria -
:08:15. > :08:18.first, its historic significance to the UK,
:08:19. > :08:23.second, whether it has a unique aesthetic and third, whether it's
:08:24. > :08:27.The experts decided it was a national treasure
:08:28. > :08:32.Does its first public audience for centuries agree?
:08:33. > :08:34.Allowing people to come here and see the image,
:08:35. > :08:37.is better than selling it off to a collector and letting
:08:38. > :08:40.them keep it in a room, which is never going to be seen.
:08:41. > :08:44.I think we should all do what we could to preserve art.
:08:45. > :08:47.I don't know if it's worth ?11.5 million, I'm not sure.
:08:48. > :08:51.I think it would have been a shame if it had gone into a private
:08:52. > :08:54.collection and people here today and people who come
:08:55. > :08:56.into the National Gallery wouldn't be able to see it.
:08:57. > :08:59.The painting is now being displayed just feet away from some
:09:00. > :09:05.Undoubtedly it helps if your uncle is Canaletto and the most
:09:06. > :09:13.We know Bellotto was training with Canaletto from the age of about 13.
:09:14. > :09:16.Walk round the corner, you can see how Bellotto uses
:09:17. > :09:24.It you look at the building here, the texture of crumbling stones,
:09:25. > :09:27.that's absolutely out of Canaletto's workshop.
:09:28. > :09:32.There's some soldiers up on the ramparts created really out
:09:33. > :09:36.That's something that Canaletto has as well,
:09:37. > :09:40.Every year, a handful of national treasures can't
:09:41. > :09:42.be saved and disappear to private collections.
:09:43. > :09:45.All the more reason to enjoy the one that's stay.
:09:46. > :09:54.That's it for now from me, but let's find out what the weather's up
:09:55. > :09:59.It's been a little bit more summery today, hasn't it?
:10:00. > :10:04.It has. But still disappointing temperatures. We got a glimpse of
:10:05. > :10:08.blue here by our now silent Big Ben. It really was a cloudy day, misty
:10:09. > :10:12.conditions around to start the day as well. This is what most of us saw
:10:13. > :10:17.for much of the day. Through the course of the day tomorrow, a humid
:10:18. > :10:20.start but it turns fresher. Cooler feel by the time we get to the end
:10:21. > :10:23.of the afternoon on Wednesday. Sunny spells for the rest of the week.
:10:24. > :10:28.Always the chance of one or two showers. A lot of dry weather around
:10:29. > :10:32.as well. Over the next hour, I may still catch a shower. It will be
:10:33. > :10:36.mostly dry overnight. A mild night to come. Start off the day tomorrow
:10:37. > :10:42.on 16 or 17 degrees Celsius. Still feeling quite humid tomorrow
:10:43. > :10:45.morning. We will see things brighten up nicely through the morning, some
:10:46. > :10:48.spells of sunshine. This is when we'll probably see the highest
:10:49. > :10:51.temperatures. Then the cloud thick beings through the middle of the
:10:52. > :10:54.day. By the time we get to the end of the day, it will be sunny again
:10:55. > :10:58.and we'll have a westerly wind. For the rest of the week: Sunny spells
:10:59. > :11:02.at times, a lot of dry weather around. A lot of uncertainty for the
:11:03. > :11:04.bank holiday weekend. around. A lot of uncertainty for the
:11:05. > :11:12.bank holiday weekend. Good evening. I think it's fair to
:11:13. > :11:18.say it's been a disappointment August so far. We want blue sky,
:11:19. > :11:22.sunshine. We want what we had today in Newquay and Cornwall, 25 Celsius,
:11:23. > :11:27.77 Fahrenheit. Beautiful on the beach. As opposed to what we had in
:11:28. > :11:32.Fermanagh. You can see by this picture. The rain so heavy,ing off
:11:33. > :11:36.the roof of the car. In fact, that heavy rain was accompanied by some
:11:37. > :11:39.pretty significant thunder and lightning as well, which is
:11:40. > :11:43.continuing to drift its way steadily north as we speak. It's moving into
:11:44. > :11:45.the Western Isles and we'll see some heavy rain overnight tonight across
:11:46. > :11:46.the Western Isles
