Good evening. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
I'm Riz Lateef. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
First tonight - how London taxpayers
could end up footing | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
the bill for extra policing
at West Ham home games. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
It's after crowd trouble and pitch
invasions during Saturday's match | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
at the London Stadium. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
There's been widespread condemnation
by all the authorities involved - | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
and it's once again raised questions
about safety at the ground. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Here's our Political
Correspondent Karl Mercer. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:40 | |
We have got a supporter on the pitch
here and Mark Noble is doing his | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
utmost to get him off the pitch. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
When your captain has to do this... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
When fans are able to do this
in the middle of a game... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
Finally, David Sullivan has been
encouraged to leave his seat. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
And when angry supporters
are able to do this | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
towards your directors' box... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
You know all is not
well at your club... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
You also know questions will be
asked about safety at your ground. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
I have been here since Friday. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Tom Odom flew over from
Texas for the game.... | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
His first at West Ham. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
After we got the first goal,
everyone went insane. It was pretty | 0:01:17 | 0:01:24 | |
upsetting for me. I wanted to enjoy
it and it put a bad taste in my | 0:01:24 | 0:01:31 | |
mouth after the game. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
It was Theo Wenting
from Holland's first game. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
too. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
It is not good. If you want to make
a statement, but not a pitch | 0:01:37 | 0:01:45 | |
invasion. I have never seen things
like this. It does not look like it | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
will go away. From everything I have
seen online, a lot of people seem to | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
want to protest, take on other forms
of protest, people are openly | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
discussing how can we try to make
the lives of our owners as | 0:02:00 | 0:02:06 | |
uncomfortable as possible. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Today, condemnation from all
of the authorities involved.... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
From, the club, the council,
the stadium owners... | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
I am told it is not about the fans
getting onto the pitch but the | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
amount of time it took to get them
off. We are likely to see a | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
different operation the next time
West Ham play here. We are also | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
likely to see a different policing
operation, with up to 100 police | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
officers stationed within the
ground. Under the terms that West | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Ham have secured for the stadium, it
will not be the club who played for | 0:02:36 | 0:02:43 | |
it, it would be the taxpayer. It
could cost up to £50,000. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
That is yet to be decided.... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
So is the punishment that
West Ham will be given.... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
Likely to be a large fine
and a warning that scenes | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
like these can't be repeated. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
The Mayor of London is demanding
action from social media companies | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
to tackle hate speech. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Talking at a major technology
conference in the US - | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Sadiq Khan also shared some
of the abusive and racist messages | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
he's received online. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
Marc Ashdown has been listening
to what he had to say. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Why has the Mayor decided
to reveal them now? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:15 | |
Well, he said a small number of
companies have huge power over how | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
information is shared. He is talking
about Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
He said they have created huge
benefits for society but they can be | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
platforms for hatred and fake
information and there have been | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
accusations of meddling in
referendums and elections. If few | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
hours ago in this speech, he shared
a couple of personal messages he has | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
received, one red, deport all
Muslims and make London white | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
again... He had death threats as
well. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
He said he could go on and on but he
did not want to paint himself as a | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
victim. He was worried about the
influence it might have, especially | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
on young people. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Ask yourself this, what happens when
young boys and girls from minority | 0:04:12 | 0:04:18 | |
backgrounds see this kind of thing
on their timelines? Or experience it | 0:04:18 | 0:04:24 | |
themselves? Or some think about
becoming a politician? The | 0:04:24 | 0:04:32 | |
implication that they might think
twice. What is his message to these | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
big companies? He wants them to do
more. He says the messages are not | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
removed quickly enough and they said
it must be possible with all the | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
resources to go further and faster.
Sadiq Khan accuse governments and | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
politicians around the world of a
dereliction of duty and of sitting | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
on their hands while this big
revolution took off around them. In | 0:04:53 | 0:04:59 | |
Germany, there are hefty fines. I am
told | 0:04:59 | 0:05:11 | |
this trip was all about banging the
drum for tech relations but it | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
sounds like it was a bit more about
banging heads together to improve | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
online policing. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
Next: an advert urging entrepreneurs
in the capital to relocate | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
to Normandy after Brexit -
has been banned | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
from the underground. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
Transport for London says it
breaches its guidelines on public | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
sensitivity and controversy. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
The company behind the campaign says
they were just offering | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
businesses here a Plan B. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
Emma North reports. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
It's not London, but it's
got stunning views, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
a great quality of life... | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
And some delicious soft cheeses. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
But if you're an entrepreneur
worried about Brexit, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Normandy wants to give your
business a new home. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
A Norman conquest of
the Underground had been planned, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
a series of posters containing
a little bit of cheek | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
and rather a lot of charm. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
They spoke of great opportunities
and good lunches for anyone, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
British or French, worried
about what happens | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
when the UK leads the EU. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
TfL said "non". | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
TfL said that they stopped
the adverts because they had | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
breached their guidelines on public
sensitivity and controversy. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
But the banning of a few posters
seems a drop in the deluge of wooing | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
that French businesses and regions
seem to be doing to get | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
people back across the Channel. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
The ban on the adverts
brought the campaign | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
a different kind of publicity. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
But Normandy, it seems, isn't
the only area of France promising | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
a bright future post-Brexit. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
Many representatives
of cities like Lille, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Nantes and Marseille are coming
to London to meet British | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
entrepreneurs or French
entrepreneurs who have British | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
companies here in London. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
And basically, they're
offering them financial aid | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
to set up in their city. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:47 | |
Which could sound reassuring
to the 200,000 French | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
people living in London. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
So is this Normandy trying
to steal British talent? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
TRANSLATION: We were not
being opportunistic, | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
we were simply trying | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
to give British men and women
a foothold in the European Union. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
We are offering them a planned B
which gives them access | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
to the single market. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Our streets are no strangers to ads
tempting us to mainland Europe now. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
This poster promises a less
expensive life in Amsterdam. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
But whether a hop to a rural idyll
in Normandy will be enough | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
for Londoners is another matter. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
At least the weather
will make it feel like home. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:26 | |
It's a new app-based minibus
service that's supposed | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
to reduce congestion. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
But some residents in Greenwich
living along its route claim | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
it's doing anything but. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:33 | |
Our transport correspondent
Tom Edwards explains. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:40 | |
Four minibuses an hour now use
this residential street | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
in Greenwich as their route. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
There's also what's called
a virtual bus stop here, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
where passengers can
catch the buses. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
But some residents say
they don't want them | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
and the buses block the roads
and they weren't consulted. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
I don't think this road
is suitable for, you know, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
for that type of traffic to be
running up and down | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
on a regular basis. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
It's a quiet road. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
Two cars come down here
from opposite directions | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
now, and cars have to reverse
and go back. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Starting to run buses
up it is just crazy. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
It's never been a bus
route, it's a side road - | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
to suddenly be used
for a commercial purpose is... | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
It's just beyond me, it really is. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
My main objection is,
we get enough traffic | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
here in the morning. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
And to have a bus ply this route,
I don't think it's the best thing. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
And where they've actually put
the bus stop on this road, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
I would say isn't the best place. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Chariot is carrying out a year-long
trial in the capital and is backed | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
by the car giant Ford. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Passengers can call up
the bus via an app. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
The fare is £2.60. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
It's meant to reduce congestion
and offer transport on demand | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
in underserved areas. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
TfL says it does look at licenses
to make sure the routes are safe. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
But residents want TfL to intervene. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
This | 0:09:02 | 0:09:02 | |
TfL needs to say, "This
is where you go, AND this | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
is where you can put bus stops." | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
They need to do the risk
assessment because it's | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
a Transport for London issue,
it's not a private operator's issue. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Chariot says it has obtained
all the relevant licenses and has | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
consulted with the boroughs,
and its buses will only wait | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
for a minute to pick up passengers. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
But as technology changes
transport in the capital, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
there are those that now
feel they're ignored. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
Tom Edwards, BBC London News. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
I'll say good night now and leave
you with Louise Lear for a look | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
ahead to the weather. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:33 | |
I was not overly impressed with the
forecast today. It was miserable | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
this morning and this photograph
sums it up. A grey drab Wembley, but | 0:09:43 | 0:09:51 | |
I'm pleased to say that the rain has
eased away, a few bits and pieces | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
remaining. We will see this guy is
clear from the west and we will see | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
the lowest values in
Buckinghamshire. It may well start | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
cloudy for many of you, but we are
optimistic tomorrow, the cloud | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
should start to break and as we go
into the afternoon, there will be | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
sunny spells. It will also be dry in
comparison to the weather today. A | 0:10:12 | 0:10:24 | |
better day, probably for some of us,
not a bad day at all. Between nine | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
and 11 degrees. Look at Wednesday.
We start with clear blue skies and | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
sunshine but more importantly, the
winds will swing around to a | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
southerly direction and with the
sunshine, at this time of year, in | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
the breeze, those temperatures will
respond and it will feel pleasant, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
maybe highs of 14 or 15 degrees, it
will they like spring, but do not | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
get used to it, the milder air that
we are expecting will be replaced by | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
something cool yet again. We look | 0:10:50 | 0:11:01 |
