:00:13. > :00:20.Pre-fabricated homes are making a return to London

:00:21. > :00:30.They don't look anything like the pre-fabs of the 1950s.

:00:31. > :00:33.These have come a long way and there are demands for the Mayor

:00:34. > :00:36.of London to start making much more use of them.

:00:37. > :00:38.Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan has been taking a look.

:00:39. > :00:41.Floor by floor, layer by layer, a housing block taking shape in east

:00:42. > :00:45.London, not built so much as screwed together on site.

:00:46. > :00:48.Well, this is one of the flats, actually the first

:00:49. > :00:51.flat I've seen finished and furnished which is really exciting

:00:52. > :00:59.The entire structure is made from prefabricated timber panels.

:01:00. > :01:04.The internal walls, ceilings and floors,

:01:05. > :01:07.all pine, made to measure in a factory in Autria and

:01:08. > :01:10.It's about twice as fast as with concrete.

:01:11. > :01:12.So we're saving massive amounts from the overall programme of

:01:13. > :01:16.So it could mean more housing sooner, but what about the

:01:17. > :01:23.So much more cost efficient than concrete or steel

:01:24. > :01:26.structures because you have fewer people actually on site.

:01:27. > :01:34.You have a more efficient way of building buildings.

:01:35. > :01:40.Among the first to benefit, Shadelle and her two sons.

:01:41. > :01:48.They have a just moved in after a long wait in a one bedroomed flat.

:01:49. > :01:50.It's a dream come true with me and my boys.

:01:51. > :01:52.The boys have their own room I have my

:01:53. > :01:58.But the London Assembly argues the mayor could be doing more

:01:59. > :02:01.He needs to dedicate land, particularly

:02:02. > :02:04.He needs to use resources and funding and he

:02:05. > :02:07.also needs to use his policies and his planning and strategists to

:02:08. > :02:15.And he can get a win and win for the country

:02:16. > :02:18.because this is a new and emerging sector and industrial sector for

:02:19. > :02:29.Do you think people feel prejudiced against prefab?

:02:30. > :02:31.I think people are worried about prefabs.

:02:32. > :02:34.People are worried about the faults, quality of the buildings and the

:02:35. > :02:37.quality of the homes it makes but this is an incredibly robust

:02:38. > :02:40.and firm architecture which I think is a fabulous result for our sector.

:02:41. > :02:41.City Hall says it's already making money

:02:42. > :02:44.available for innovative schemes to provide off-site manufactured homes

:02:45. > :02:46.but it's signalled there will be further measures in the mayor's

:02:47. > :02:48.long-awaited housing strategy next month.

:02:49. > :02:55.A cricket match at the Oval in south London

:02:56. > :02:58.has been abandoned after a crossbow bolt was fired onto the pitch.

:02:59. > :03:01.It's thought it came from outside the ground

:03:02. > :03:03.and our reporter Tolu Adayoyay has the latest for us.

:03:04. > :03:14.W it was around 4.30 when this County Championship game between

:03:15. > :03:18.Surrey and Middlesex was so dramatically interrupted. Umpires

:03:19. > :03:23.and players were ushered off the pitch when that arrow landed. Then

:03:24. > :03:27.spectators were told to take cover while officials tried to work out

:03:28. > :03:31.what on Earth was going on. Armed police arrived. The ground was

:03:32. > :03:39.evacuated. Luckily no-one was injured. Daniel Number of orcroft is

:03:40. > :03:45.a BBC sports commentator and told us of the confusion when it landed. We

:03:46. > :03:49.were wondering was it rain v they gone off to juggle lates or any of

:03:50. > :03:53.the things that happens in cricket then it became clear we were seeing

:03:54. > :03:58.a red arrow, with a really sharp point. I have seen it subsequently.

:03:59. > :04:05.If it hit someone it could've proved catastrophic. It land between

:04:06. > :04:08.England's Jason Roy who opens the batting for England and Nick

:04:09. > :04:13.Thompson who was also batting at the same time. It was unlike anything I

:04:14. > :04:16.have ever seen before in my life. . Police are now investigating how

:04:17. > :04:21.that arrow came to be fired into the ground. They say no arrests have

:04:22. > :04:26.been made and they are open to a motive T isn't clear whether this

:04:27. > :04:31.was an act of malice or mischief, or was it just an accident. Police just

:04:32. > :04:36.don't know as yet. Meanwhile Surrey's Chief Executive described

:04:37. > :04:39.it as a bizarre incident. He has thanked the players and public for

:04:40. > :04:50.their reaction. Thank you very much for that. The moments immediately

:04:51. > :04:55.after an acid attack are crucial. Which is why the NHS has issued

:04:56. > :04:59.guidance on what to do if you come across someone who has been

:05:00. > :05:05.attacked. Three tloor simple steps to follow. Helen Drew can tell us,

:05:06. > :05:10.before her report contains distressing images from the start.

:05:11. > :05:13.Scarred for life, this man and his cousin were victims of an acid

:05:14. > :05:18.My face started melting, my clothes started to burn, my shorts started

:05:19. > :05:20.sticking to me, there was smoke coming from the seats.

:05:21. > :05:22.Corrosive substances were used in over 450

:05:23. > :05:27.crimes in the capital last year, a big increase on previous years.

:05:28. > :05:34.The growing number of attacks means the

:05:35. > :05:36.NHS and burns specialists are giving advice to victims and witnesses.

:05:37. > :05:41.The witness can call 999 while the victim

:05:42. > :05:45.Remove contaminated clothes carefully and rinse areas affected

:05:46. > :05:52.under running water until specialist help arrives.

:05:53. > :05:54.Specialist burns units like this one Chelsea and Westminster

:05:55. > :05:57.Doctors say that the moments immediately after an attack are

:05:58. > :06:10.Providing appropriate first aid in a timely fashion can

:06:11. > :06:11.have a dramatic affect on

:06:12. > :06:14.the outcome of these injuries because it can reduce the trauma of

:06:15. > :06:16.the acid but also reduce the possibility of unwanted life

:06:17. > :06:19.Earlier this month shopkeepers in Hackney started

:06:20. > :06:22.signing up to a voluntary scheme to restrict the sale of products

:06:23. > :06:24.containing ammonia and acid, the first of its kind.

:06:25. > :06:27.They're refusing to sell to anyone under the age of 21.

:06:28. > :06:31.Currently in the UK there is no age restriction on buying these items.

:06:32. > :06:34.Home Secretary Amber Rudd has ordered a review to ensure that

:06:35. > :06:37.everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks.

:06:38. > :06:39.They are still rare, but scenes like this, the

:06:40. > :06:41.aftermath of an attack in Knightsbridge, are becoming more

:06:42. > :06:54.The advice today, report, remove and rinse.

:06:55. > :07:01.As part of our series, looking into what life might be like here

:07:02. > :07:04.just over 30 years in the future, we thought we'd look at food

:07:05. > :07:07.and how sustainable - or not - things might become.

:07:08. > :07:13.Picked, packed and ready for delivery, and barely one hour out of

:07:14. > :07:18.This might look like a step back in time, but it is in fact

:07:19. > :07:31.We have got patchwork farmers who have

:07:32. > :07:32.delivered freshly picked salad leaves from their

:07:33. > :07:34.small urban sites, we

:07:35. > :07:36.are going to pack it together, divided up into smaller bags and

:07:37. > :07:49.Growing communities in Hackney grows locally and sell locally to 1000

:07:50. > :07:53.It is this kind of small-scale farming that experts say

:07:54. > :07:55.will become more reliant on by more people in the future.

:07:56. > :07:58.One of the things about growing locally is that

:07:59. > :07:59.there is less carbon footprint but we also

:08:00. > :08:01.start to eat seasonally, and

:08:02. > :08:04.that makes a really big difference in terms of cost because it is going

:08:05. > :08:07.to be so abundant, so anyone growing courgettes at the moment, they

:08:08. > :08:14.There was a time when it was predicted that we would get our

:08:15. > :08:23.food from these hot meal vending machines.

:08:24. > :08:26.These can take any coins, provide a wide choice of food

:08:27. > :08:29.Surprisingly, they did not take off, but perhaps what

:08:30. > :08:32.was not predicted was how much we now rely on imported food to

:08:33. > :08:41.Currently, we get 48% of what we eat from outside the UK and,

:08:42. > :08:43.when it comes to fruit and vegetables, that figure

:08:44. > :08:52.Everyone agrees here it is just part of the solution but there's also

:08:53. > :08:56.concern where the available patches of land where these leaves were

:08:57. > :09:00.grown could disappear, putting concept on the process of growing

:09:01. > :09:05.locally for local consumption. And that's why these disused tums under

:09:06. > :09:09.London could come in handy. Some are already being used to grow micro-her

:09:10. > :09:15.bes in Clapham. And there's miles of them. We could also be eating these

:09:16. > :09:19.in the future, crickets and other insects which are super high in

:09:20. > :09:25.protein. All of this technology we are still cavemen living in modern

:09:26. > :09:28.area. The reality is all of the technology doesn't make us any

:09:29. > :09:35.different as human beings. Whatever the future, when it comes to what we

:09:36. > :09:38.eat, technology can only go so far and for these urban farmers, the

:09:39. > :09:43.rest of the answer lies at the bottom of the garden. I like the

:09:44. > :09:48.idea of local produce but insects. Anyway, it is 30 years since the

:09:49. > :09:51.Docklands Light Railway first started running passenger services.

:09:52. > :09:55.The network was opened by the Queen in 1987, built to serve the

:09:56. > :09:59.redeveloped Docklands area in east London. It now serves over 40

:10:00. > :10:02.stations. That's it for me from now but after a really nice day

:10:03. > :10:05.weather-wise following the rain of yesterday. Let's see what the

:10:06. > :10:09.forecast has in store. Let's go to Chris.

:10:10. > :10:14.Yes, rain and cool yesterday. Temperatures of 15. The weather has

:10:15. > :10:17.been working in the right direction. 21 this afternoon with sunshine and

:10:18. > :10:22.one or two passing showers. Most have cleared out of the way. I will

:10:23. > :10:26.be left with largely clear nights. A few patches of cloud coming and

:10:27. > :10:29.going but largely clear skies and a chilly one of temperatures down to 7

:10:30. > :10:33.overnight in the coldest spots out in the countryside. A chill in the

:10:34. > :10:37.air Friday but a glorious start to the morning tomorrow morning, plenty

:10:38. > :10:41.of sunshine. Now, late morning onwards we'll see cloud bubbling up

:10:42. > :10:45.and through the afternoon that will bring one or two showers. The

:10:46. > :10:48.showers could be heavy with thunder. Most likely across eastern areas but

:10:49. > :10:52.there will be big gaps between the showers, so a decent chance of a dry

:10:53. > :10:55.day. Temperatures into the low 20s, so feeling pleasant in the sunshine.

:10:56. > :10:58.The weekend looks like this, high pressure initially but fronts moving

:10:59. > :10:59.in during the second half of the weekend. Sunshine on Saturday but

:11:00. > :11:04.rain arriving late on Sunday. weekend. Sunshine on Saturday but

:11:05. > :11:11.rain arriving late on Sunday. With the national weather picture here's

:11:12. > :11:17.Sarah Keith Lucas. As the summer has set on the final

:11:18. > :11:31.day of summer meet troe lodgically speaking let's Bakke. Summer 2017

:11:32. > :11:34.started -- let's look back. Things started off well but it has turned

:11:35. > :11:39.wetter. Now for the 1st September things

:11:40. > :11:43.looking clearer. Light wnd and a few showers lingering around the coasts

:11:44. > :11:49.and there could be the odd misty patch around. Temperatures in the

:11:50. > :11:54.towns or cities, 10 or 11. A fresh start to Friday. But for many

:11:55. > :11:57.sunshine from the word G it remains largely dry, particularly for many

:11:58. > :11:58.northern and western parts of
