0:00:00 > 0:00:01Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Good evening.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14I'm Victoria Hollins.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Jeremy Corbyn and the Mayor Sadiq Khan came together today,

0:00:17 > 0:00:21to pledge local residents should be given more power when housing

0:00:21 > 0:00:23estates are being regenerated.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26If they don't like the plans, they could then be scrapped.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Our political correspondent Karl Mercer joined the Labour leader

0:00:28 > 0:00:32and Mayor in Barnet.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36At the expense of the working-class community that's been here forever.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38They may be three months away but the campaign trail

0:00:38 > 0:00:41for May's local elections is already being trod.

0:00:41 > 0:00:46I'm looking forward to us winning for the people of this area.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Expect to see plenty more of this pair across the capital.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54In Barnet this morning, one of Labour's key targets.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56We were trying to work out which famous double act

0:00:56 > 0:00:59you would most resemble.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Ant and Dec?

0:01:00 > 0:01:08Jekyll and Hyde?

0:01:08 > 0:01:09I thought Starsky and Hutch!

0:01:09 > 0:01:13LAUGHTER.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Or Cagney and Lacey, we don't mind.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Laurel and Hardy.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19They've clearly worked on working together.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21They've not always been on the same page politically.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Today though, they were.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26The Mayor unveiling plans for people living on estates to have the final

0:01:26 > 0:01:28say in any regeneration of their area, if the developers

0:01:28 > 0:01:31want City Hall money.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35The expectation is you will consult with and engage with residents

0:01:35 > 0:01:38and then there will be a ballot of those residents.

0:01:38 > 0:01:45Unless the residents are in favour, you will get no funding from me.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's a plan backed by his party leader, and comes in the middle

0:01:48 > 0:01:50of the ongoing row in neighbouring Haringey over the Labour council's

0:01:50 > 0:01:53regeneration plans there.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's leader Claire Kober quit this week.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59In a bitter row, local Labour Party opponents had challenged her plans

0:01:59 > 0:02:04to build 6,500 homes in partnership with a private developer.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06She says she stood down because of sexism,

0:02:06 > 0:02:10bullying and intimidation by Labour Party colleagues.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Any sexism, any bullying, is totally wrong in any

0:02:13 > 0:02:17circumstances by anybody and any complaints when received

0:02:17 > 0:02:20will of course be investigated.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24He now wants locals in Haringey consulted over what happens next.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26That is the key point.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Local residents should have their say in what happens.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I definitely agree with that because then it's you're taking

0:02:31 > 0:02:35consideration about how people feel before doing anything.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I believe it's important local people get a vote,

0:02:37 > 0:02:41because I think there's too much underhandedness going on.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45When you redevelop an area a lot of the time people can't afford

0:02:45 > 0:02:47to live in the area.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51I think you definitely need to have a say.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54In Barnet, new homes continue to go up and the issue will be a key one

0:02:54 > 0:02:56in the coming elections.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59We have built things, he hasn't, the mayor hasn't built anything.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's the boroughs that do it.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04You can see in neighbouring Haringey, Momentum Labour

0:03:04 > 0:03:07interfering in the way things are done and the result

0:03:07 > 0:03:08is nothing will be built.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12It is a great tragedy for the people who urgently need homes.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16The Mayor's plans could affect up to 25 estate regeneration plans

0:03:16 > 0:03:17across the capital each year.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Karl Mercer, BBC London News.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22A legal challenge against the planned release of the serial

0:03:22 > 0:03:25sex attacker John Worboys will start next week.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Judges will consider whether to allow the Mayor of London

0:03:28 > 0:03:32and two of his victims to apply for a judicial review.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35The Parole Board provoked anger last month after announcing Worboys

0:03:35 > 0:03:40would be released from prison.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's a week on from when three boys were killed in a car crash

0:03:44 > 0:03:45in Hayes, west London.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Teenagers Harry Rice, George Wilkinson and Josh McGuinness

0:03:48 > 0:03:51were hit by a motorist on their way to a birthday party.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Tonight a vigil has been held in their memory, close

0:03:54 > 0:03:55to where they lived in Harefield.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59Chris Rogers reports.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Five, four, three, two, one. APPLAUSE

0:04:11 > 0:04:16At exactly 8:40pm one week ago the village of Harefield lost three much

0:04:16 > 0:04:23loved teenagers. Josh McGuinness and George Wilkinson, aged 16, and Harry

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Lewis Rice, aged 17, didn't make it home from football practice. A car

0:04:27 > 0:04:32ploughed into a bus stop and ended their short lives. How do you feel

0:04:32 > 0:04:35about the turnout tonight for your brother and his friends?It's

0:04:35 > 0:04:39incredible. I didn't really expect less than this because they were

0:04:39 > 0:04:44incredible boys and they had so many friends, and this is obviously a

0:04:44 > 0:04:47small village, so everyone knows everyone here and they went to

0:04:47 > 0:04:51school here. It's just amazing and it really brings us joy in this sad

0:04:51 > 0:04:58time.The loss of the three boys has hit the community so badly.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00It's devastating to me and everybody who knew him

0:05:00 > 0:05:03and the families as well, they must be really, really hurt.

0:05:03 > 0:05:09I feel for them, I really do.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Dave Gentry is struggling to comprehensive three students that

0:05:12 > 0:05:17will never return to his kick boxing classes.This is a little bit of a

0:05:17 > 0:05:22video of George doing kick boxing. It's a treasured moment of his most

0:05:22 > 0:05:26regular and perhaps talented club member, George.He was a great

0:05:26 > 0:05:29martial artist, very good. I'm sure he'd have made a black belt. It

0:05:29 > 0:05:35tells you about is cheeky way, his lovable way, his fun way.The

0:05:35 > 0:05:47alleged driver has been charged with three counts of death

0:05:48 > 0:05:51by dangerous but many say it was a tragedy waiting to happen.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Pedestrians have been hit on this road before. This is a community not

0:05:54 > 0:05:57only united in grief but in anger. There's a feeling here that three

0:05:57 > 0:06:01lives were lost unnecessarily.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04West Ham have sacked their director of player recruitment, Tony Henry.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07It followed an investigation into claims he told agents

0:06:07 > 0:06:09that the Premier League club didn't want to sign any more

0:06:09 > 0:06:11African players.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13In a statement West Ham said it would not tolerate any

0:06:13 > 0:06:18type of discrimination.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19That's it for now from me.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Let's find out what the weather's up to with Matt Taylor.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Thank you, good evening. I hate to say it, tomorrow you are not going

0:06:31 > 0:06:36to see much of this, but a bit of sunshine to finish the day across

0:06:36 > 0:06:39the capital. Temperatures dropping, could see a touch of frost around in

0:06:39 > 0:06:43places. By the time we get towards dawn the cloud will be thickening

0:06:43 > 0:06:45towards the north and west. Temperatures hovering around

0:06:45 > 0:06:51freezing to start Saturday. A chilly start or stop slow and sluggish to

0:06:51 > 0:06:54lift, because cloud will be spilling in, making for a great, dull day, a

0:06:54 > 0:06:58cold day as well. Patchy light rain or drizzle. On the tops of the

0:06:58 > 0:07:05Chilterns you could see flake of snow mixed in. In the afternoon,

0:07:05 > 0:07:10temperatures 4-6, like winds. The winds will pick up from Sunday, from

0:07:10 > 0:07:12an north-easterly direction bringing more sunshine and a scattering of

0:07:12 > 0:07:17showers. Mainly of rain but some sleet and snow could be mixed in.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Whilst the thermometers may show 4-6, is going to feel much colder,

0:07:21 > 0:07:25closer to freezing thanks to the raw wind. One thing to watch as we go

0:07:25 > 0:07:30into Monday is the risk of a few slow flurries to start the day but

0:07:30 > 0:07:33the real story next week is keep your winter clothes handy. It's

0:07:33 > 0:07:33going to be
