Good evening and welcome
to BBC London News. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
I'm Claudia-Liza Armah. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
With hundreds of thousands
of people heading | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
into central London for this year's
New Year Eve firework celebrations, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
the Met Police has confirmed | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
there will be additional
armed officers on patrol. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:29 | |
And it's not just Scotland Yard -
the London Ambulance Service | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
is also preparing for its busiest
night of the year. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Frankie McCamley reports. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Last year's fireworks display,
watched by thousands in the capital, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
all lining the Thames to take
in the sights and sounds. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
It's one of the biggest
events of the year, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
with preparations well under way. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
But with so many descending
on one area, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
security needs to be stepped up. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
What people see as they come
into the footprint, they will see | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
a effective search and secure
regime, they will see | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
physical barriers, they will see
uniformed police officers, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
they will see visible uniformed
private security contractors. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
What they won't see is
a number of covert resources | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
that are also working alongside us
to keep this event safe. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
The Met says it is learnt lessons
this year following four major | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
terror incidents in the city. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Elsewhere, other
emergency services | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
are stepping things
up for the big event. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
For London Ambulance Service, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
New Year's Eve is the busiest
night of the year. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Dozens of extra staff are going to
be on shift in this call centre. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
They're expecting to take
around 2000 extra calls. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Everybody likes to party
on New Year's Eve. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
We've got some simple messages | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
for everybody who wants
to go out to party. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Go out and party safely. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
Have a plan, have a bite
to eat before you go, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
drink plenty of water,
have a few drinks by all means, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
but drink in moderation. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
We want you to get home safely,
we want you to be healthy, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
we want you to have a great night,
not have a night that ends up | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
in the back of an ambulance
or an emergency department. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
People are being urged
to stay vigilant | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
but, most importantly,
enjoy the show. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Frankie McCamley, BBC London News. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:11 | |
Heartbroken friends of a woman found
murdered in North | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
London have described her as a kind,
fun and life-loving person. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
The body of Iuliana Tudos was found
in Finsbury Park on Wednesday. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Police believe the 22-year-old,
who was also known as Julie, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
was murdered on Christmas Eve. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
Ayshea Buksh reports. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
She was getting ready
for a Christmas in London | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
with her friends. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
22-year-old Iuliana Tudos was last
seen in Camden on Christmas Eve | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
after finishing her shift
at a local pub. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Two days later, she was
found murdered near her | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
home in Finsbury Park. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Much of the park has been closed off
to the public while police | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
forensics search for clues. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
She left Camden, left her friends,
and we know that she got transport | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
to come back to this area,
and effectively she was going back | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
to gather some stuff to go back
to her friend's for Christmas Eve. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
We know her last movement
was at 8:20 on Christmas Eve, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
so the 24th, and she was seen
in the perimeter, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
we know we've got last sighting
in the perimeter of this park. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
She's been described by friends
as a kind and friendly young woman. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
A postmortem today showed
she had a head injury | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
and had been stabbed in the stomach. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
It's really important | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
that we identify anyone
who may have seen her. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
It was a lively area,
the park is a busy park, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
and indeed the perimeter has got
public houses and other trades, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
shops who may just have seen her, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
she may be a regular
in one of those shops. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
So far, no arrests have been made,
and police say anyone with | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
any information should contact
them as soon as possible. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |

That's it for now from me,
but let's find out | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
what the weather's up
to with Chris Fawkes. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:03 | |
The weather will be cloudy but mild
tomorrow, temperatures rising | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
through the night, and they are at
their lowest at the moment, but as | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
we go through the night, this band
of rain will be working in, and | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
temperatures, our buy our, will
steadily be rising. By the end of | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
the night, temperatures will be into
double figures, would you believe it | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
going to be a mild start. Today,
mild but breezy, cloud and misty | 0:04:26 | 0:04:33 | |
nurse over the Downs and the
children's. The rain is never too | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
far away, but it will return towards
evening time. A bit of rain clearing | 0:04:36 | 0:04:49 | |
away in the early part of the day,
then a brighter day coming up with a | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
bit of sunshine, still fairly strong
south-westerly winds and | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
