Pre-fabricated homes are making a return to London | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
They don't look anything like the pre-fabs of the 1950s. | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
These have come a long way and there are demands for the Mayor | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
of London to start making much more use of them. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan has been taking a look. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Floor by floor, layer by layer, a housing block taking shape in east | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
London, not built so much as screwed together on site. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Well, this is one of the flats, actually the first | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
flat I've seen finished and furnished which is really exciting | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The entire structure is made from prefabricated timber panels. | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
The internal walls, ceilings and floors, | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
all pine, made to measure in a factory in Autria and | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
It's about twice as fast as with concrete. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
So we're saving massive amounts from the overall programme of | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
So it could mean more housing sooner, but what about the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
So much more cost efficient than concrete or steel | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
structures because you have fewer people actually on site. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
You have a more efficient way of building buildings. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Among the first to benefit, Shadelle and her two sons. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
They have a just moved in after a long wait in a one bedroomed flat. | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
It's a dream come true with me and my boys. | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
The boys have their own room I have my | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
But the London Assembly argues the mayor could be doing more | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
He needs to dedicate land, particularly | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
He needs to use resources and funding and he | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
also needs to use his policies and his planning and strategists to | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
And he can get a win and win for the country | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
because this is a new and emerging sector and industrial sector for | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Do you think people feel prejudiced against prefab? | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
I think people are worried about prefabs. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
People are worried about the faults, quality of the buildings and the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
quality of the homes it makes but this is an incredibly robust | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and firm architecture which I think is a fabulous result for our sector. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
City Hall says it's already making money | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
available for innovative schemes to provide off-site manufactured homes | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
but it's signalled there will be further measures in the mayor's | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
long-awaited housing strategy next month. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
A cricket match at the Oval in south London | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
has been abandoned after a crossbow bolt was fired onto the pitch. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
It's thought it came from outside the ground | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
and our reporter Tolu Adayoyay has the latest for us. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
W it was around 4.30 when this County Championship game between | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
Surrey and Middlesex was so dramatically interrupted. Umpires | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and players were ushered off the pitch when that arrow landed. Then | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
spectators were told to take cover while officials tried to work out | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
what on Earth was going on. Armed police arrived. The ground was | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
evacuated. Luckily no-one was injured. Daniel Number of orcroft is | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
a BBC sports commentator and told us of the confusion when it landed. We | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
were wondering was it rain v they gone off to juggle lates or any of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the things that happens in cricket then it became clear we were seeing | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
a red arrow, with a really sharp point. I have seen it subsequently. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
If it hit someone it could've proved catastrophic. It land between | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
England's Jason Roy who opens the batting for England and Nick | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Thompson who was also batting at the same time. It was unlike anything I | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
have ever seen before in my life. . Police are now investigating how | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
that arrow came to be fired into the ground. They say no arrests have | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
been made and they are open to a motive T isn't clear whether this | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
was an act of malice or mischief, or was it just an accident. Police just | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
don't know as yet. Meanwhile Surrey's Chief Executive described | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
it as a bizarre incident. He has thanked the players and public for | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
their reaction. Thank you very much for that. The moments immediately | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
after an acid attack are crucial. Which is why the NHS has issued | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
guidance on what to do if you come across someone who has been | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
attacked. Three tloor simple steps to follow. Helen Drew can tell us, | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
before her report contains distressing images from the start. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Scarred for life, this man and his cousin were victims of an acid | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
My face started melting, my clothes started to burn, my shorts started | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
sticking to me, there was smoke coming from the seats. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Corrosive substances were used in over 450 | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
crimes in the capital last year, a big increase on previous years. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
The growing number of attacks means the | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
NHS and burns specialists are giving advice to victims and witnesses. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
The witness can call 999 while the victim | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Remove contaminated clothes carefully and rinse areas affected | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
under running water until specialist help arrives. | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
Specialist burns units like this one Chelsea and Westminster | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Doctors say that the moments immediately after an attack are | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Providing appropriate first aid in a timely fashion can | :05:58. | :06:10. | |
have a dramatic affect on | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
the outcome of these injuries because it can reduce the trauma of | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
the acid but also reduce the possibility of unwanted life | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
Earlier this month shopkeepers in Hackney started | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
signing up to a voluntary scheme to restrict the sale of products | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
containing ammonia and acid, the first of its kind. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
They're refusing to sell to anyone under the age of 21. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Currently in the UK there is no age restriction on buying these items. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has ordered a review to ensure that | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
They are still rare, but scenes like this, the | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
aftermath of an attack in Knightsbridge, are becoming more | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
The advice today, report, remove and rinse. | :06:42. | :06:54. | |
As part of our series, looking into what life might be like here | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
just over 30 years in the future, we thought we'd look at food | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and how sustainable - or not - things might become. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Picked, packed and ready for delivery, and barely one hour out of | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
This might look like a step back in time, but it is in fact | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
We have got patchwork farmers who have | :07:19. | :07:31. | |
delivered freshly picked salad leaves from their | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
small urban sites, we | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
are going to pack it together, divided up into smaller bags and | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
Growing communities in Hackney grows locally and sell locally to 1000 | :07:37. | :07:49. | |
It is this kind of small-scale farming that experts say | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
will become more reliant on by more people in the future. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
One of the things about growing locally is that | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
there is less carbon footprint but we also | :07:59. | :07:59. | |
start to eat seasonally, and | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
that makes a really big difference in terms of cost because it is going | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
to be so abundant, so anyone growing courgettes at the moment, they | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
There was a time when it was predicted that we would get our | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
food from these hot meal vending machines. | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
These can take any coins, provide a wide choice of food | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Surprisingly, they did not take off, but perhaps what | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
was not predicted was how much we now rely on imported food to | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Currently, we get 48% of what we eat from outside the UK and, | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
when it comes to fruit and vegetables, that figure | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Everyone agrees here it is just part of the solution but there's also | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
concern where the available patches of land where these leaves were | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
grown could disappear, putting concept on the process of growing | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
locally for local consumption. And that's why these disused tums under | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
London could come in handy. Some are already being used to grow micro-her | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
bes in Clapham. And there's miles of them. We could also be eating these | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
in the future, crickets and other insects which are super high in | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
protein. All of this technology we are still cavemen living in modern | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
area. The reality is all of the technology doesn't make us any | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
different as human beings. Whatever the future, when it comes to what we | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
eat, technology can only go so far and for these urban farmers, the | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
rest of the answer lies at the bottom of the garden. I like the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
idea of local produce but insects. Anyway, it is 30 years since the | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Docklands Light Railway first started running passenger services. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
The network was opened by the Queen in 1987, built to serve the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
redeveloped Docklands area in east London. It now serves over 40 | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
stations. That's it for me from now but after a really nice day | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
weather-wise following the rain of yesterday. Let's see what the | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
forecast has in store. Let's go to Chris. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Yes, rain and cool yesterday. Temperatures of 15. The weather has | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
been working in the right direction. 21 this afternoon with sunshine and | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
one or two passing showers. Most have cleared out of the way. I will | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
be left with largely clear nights. A few patches of cloud coming and | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
going but largely clear skies and a chilly one of temperatures down to 7 | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
overnight in the coldest spots out in the countryside. A chill in the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
air Friday but a glorious start to the morning tomorrow morning, plenty | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
of sunshine. Now, late morning onwards we'll see cloud bubbling up | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
and through the afternoon that will bring one or two showers. The | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
showers could be heavy with thunder. Most likely across eastern areas but | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
there will be big gaps between the showers, so a decent chance of a dry | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
day. Temperatures into the low 20s, so feeling pleasant in the sunshine. | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
The weekend looks like this, high pressure initially but fronts moving | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
in during the second half of the weekend. Sunshine on Saturday but | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
rain arriving late on Sunday. weekend. Sunshine on Saturday but | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
rain arriving late on Sunday. With the national weather picture here's | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
Sarah Keith Lucas. As the summer has set on the final | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
day of summer meet troe lodgically speaking let's Bakke. Summer 2017 | :11:18. | :11:31. | |
started -- let's look back. Things started off well but it has turned | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
wetter. Now for the 1st September things | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
looking clearer. Light wnd and a few showers lingering around the coasts | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
and there could be the odd misty patch around. Temperatures in the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
towns or cities, 10 or 11. A fresh start to Friday. But for many | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
sunshine from the word G it remains largely dry, particularly for many | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
northern and western parts of | :11:58. | :11:58. |
