:00:16. > :00:17.Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News.

:00:18. > :00:22.The capital's night tube service is to be extended to part

:00:23. > :00:24.of the London Overground, with trains running

:00:25. > :00:28.From December, there'll be a 24 hour service on Fridays and Saturdays

:00:29. > :00:32.between Dalston Junction and New Cross Gate - via Hoxton,

:00:33. > :00:39.Here's our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards.

:00:40. > :00:45.Shoreditch, one of the areas that will benefit from 24-hour train

:00:46. > :00:58.One of the things that's kind of grown the south-east and east,

:00:59. > :01:00.has been the arts community and stuff like that,

:01:01. > :01:03.and anything that helps that grow is just a good thing.

:01:04. > :01:06.From December, on Fridays and Saturday nights,

:01:07. > :01:11.there will be four trains an hour right through the night

:01:12. > :01:16.The service will extend to Highbury next year.

:01:17. > :01:19.We have been experiencing traffic jams in the middle of the night.

:01:20. > :01:21.There is huge traffic congestion in the evenings

:01:22. > :01:26.It's very important that where possible we do shift people

:01:27. > :01:32.from car traffic into cleaner public transport services.

:01:33. > :01:35.I think if you look around the world, many world cities

:01:36. > :01:47.London, too, has its own night tube service now of course.

:01:48. > :01:49.They are very important for the night-time economy,

:01:50. > :01:52.for people who live in London and people who work in London.

:01:53. > :01:55.According to the mayor, the night tube has already boosted

:01:56. > :02:03.Now there are also calls for licensing restrictions to be eased.

:02:04. > :02:05.We still have a climate where we don't have

:02:06. > :02:09.In some areas people are nervous about granting licences to bars

:02:10. > :02:13.Rashid has had a stall here for two years.

:02:14. > :02:16.He thinks better transport will benefit the area.

:02:17. > :02:21.It makes it more attractive and busier, for sure.

:02:22. > :02:25.And this will not be the last service to run through the night.

:02:26. > :02:27.Transport for London says it's already looking to introduce

:02:28. > :02:37.More than 160 people who witnessed last month's terror attack

:02:38. > :02:39.on London Bridge and Borough Market, have turned to a support

:02:40. > :02:42.Eight people died, and dozens of others were injured,

:02:43. > :02:45.when three men drove a van into pedestrians and then

:02:46. > :02:51.Mark Castle is the Chief Executive of Victim Support and joins me now.

:02:52. > :02:55.More than 160 people turning to you for help.

:02:56. > :03:00.Some people might be quite surprised at how high that number is.

:03:01. > :03:07.I know it sounds like a large number, but looking at it in the

:03:08. > :03:10.context of Borough Market, London Bridge, in and around the area that

:03:11. > :03:15.evening, we believe there will be far more people who might have been

:03:16. > :03:18.affected in some way by those tragic events, either they witnessed

:03:19. > :03:21.something or they know somebody involved. Maybe they feel guilt

:03:22. > :03:25.because they didn't do something they feel they should have done at

:03:26. > :03:30.the time, so we are trying to encourage them to contact us now.

:03:31. > :03:37.What sort of support can you offer? We will be able to provide them

:03:38. > :03:41.either with psychological trauma support, our staff are trained in

:03:42. > :03:47.that. Give them a sense that what they are experiencing is maybe

:03:48. > :03:51.normal behaviour. We can also sign post them to specialist support

:03:52. > :03:55.services. We can also help them understand what support services are

:03:56. > :03:58.available to them and help them navigate through the system. And

:03:59. > :04:04.maybe more practical things, if that is what is required. What we will

:04:05. > :04:08.say this, don't suffer in silence, don't keep it to yourself. Sharing

:04:09. > :04:13.it really does make a big difference. This sort of early

:04:14. > :04:17.intervention can help. Do you find people are sometimes reluctant to

:04:18. > :04:20.seek support if they know others have died or been injured, they

:04:21. > :04:26.might feel they are not the real victims. But we know how seriously

:04:27. > :04:31.they can be effected. We know from experience of supporting people from

:04:32. > :04:38.Tunisia and the Bataclan, it can take time for people to think, I

:04:39. > :04:41.need to talk to somebody. They might experience sleeplessness,

:04:42. > :04:45.hypervigilance, flashbacks. We want to tell them that's normal, and we

:04:46. > :04:49.can also give them a sense through our support if they are going to

:04:50. > :04:53.require anything that is more in depth. Thank you for joining us.

:04:54. > :04:56.A woman's died following a fire at a maisonette in east London.

:04:57. > :04:59.Eyewitnesses reported she had been trying to escape by jumping

:05:00. > :05:02.from a window at the home in Mile End early this morning.

:05:03. > :05:04.Three other people were taken to hospital, and around 50

:05:05. > :05:10.The British Airline Pilots' Association has called

:05:11. > :05:13.for the compulsory registration of drone users

:05:14. > :05:16.after the runway at Gatwick Airport had to be closed yesterday evening.

:05:17. > :05:19.Four EasyJet flights and one BA service were diverted

:05:20. > :05:28.Now, coffee is one of the world's favourite drinks-

:05:29. > :05:30.but scientists are warning that- because of climate change-

:05:31. > :05:34.we could be paying more in future- and it may not taste so good.

:05:35. > :05:36.So could researchers at Kew Gardens help find a solution?

:05:37. > :05:47.55 million cups of it are drunk every day in the UK,

:05:48. > :05:50.but could coffee be under threat because of climate change?

:05:51. > :05:52.Ethiopian is the birthplace of coffee, but farmers have noticed

:05:53. > :06:12.If temperatures continue to rise, the amount of coffee produce

:06:13. > :06:17.But there might be a solution, and it's come from London.

:06:18. > :06:20.Researchers at Kew Gardens have been mapping the conditions

:06:21. > :06:24.When they combine that with predictions about climate

:06:25. > :06:27.change they can find the best places to plant it.

:06:28. > :06:29.Our studies show if we don't do something about it,

:06:30. > :06:35.Actually, the potential for the environment

:06:36. > :06:38.in Ethiopia is almost fourfold for what it presently is.

:06:39. > :06:41.They could, with enough investment, make four times more

:06:42. > :06:46.The herbarium at Kew Gardens has over 7 million plant specimens.

:06:47. > :06:50.This was one of the projects that got us started

:06:51. > :06:55.Kew have been researching coffee for decades.

:06:56. > :06:59.Coffee is an immensely important global commodity.

:07:00. > :07:03.But I think more than that, worldwide, 100 million people

:07:04. > :07:05.gain their livelihoods from growing coffee - just in the

:07:06. > :07:11.In a country like Ethiopia it's probably 12 to 15 million people

:07:12. > :07:17.With so many people relying on it, perhaps this research could be one

:07:18. > :07:22.less thing keeping the coffee industry awake at night.

:07:23. > :07:28.Now it's time for the weather- and we can join Wendy Hurrell

:07:29. > :07:36.Looking rather nice with lots of short sleeves and people enjoying

:07:37. > :07:41.their picnic. I'm here among the beautiful purple

:07:42. > :07:46.and green flowers with Henman Hill, or Murray Mount behind me. Also one

:07:47. > :07:50.or two dark looking clouds, but we haven't had to worry about them too

:07:51. > :07:54.much. For the rest of this afternoon, it looks like it will be

:07:55. > :07:58.largely dry across London and the Home Counties. Quite a lot of

:07:59. > :08:03.moisture in the atmosphere, so it could be one or two showers set off

:08:04. > :08:07.north of London across Hertfordshire and Essex, but mostly dry today with

:08:08. > :08:15.sunny spells and feeling increasingly warm and humid in those

:08:16. > :08:17.sunny spells with temperatures reaching 25 degrees in some parts of

:08:18. > :08:20.London today. Into the evening and overnight, a mixture of cloud and

:08:21. > :08:25.clear sky breaking through from time to time. Much less breeze than over

:08:26. > :08:31.the weekend, temperatures settling at 14 or 15 later in the night. It

:08:32. > :08:36.will be a bit muggy later in the night. Tomorrow we start with a fair

:08:37. > :08:39.amount of cloud again but it will break through the afternoon for

:08:40. > :08:45.sunny spells coming through. Again, not much of a breeze, and

:08:46. > :08:49.increasingly humid with temperatures reaching 25 or 26 throughout

:08:50. > :08:53.tomorrow afternoon. That trend for rising temperatures continues into

:08:54. > :08:57.the middle part of the week so by Wednesday with a fine day of

:08:58. > :09:01.sunshine we could hit 28 degrees, perhaps even above that. Then there

:09:02. > :09:07.is the risk we could see heavy showers. That's for the outlook

:09:08. > :09:11.though, because on Thursday it looks like it could go pot with heavy

:09:12. > :09:16.showers and I think the Centre Court roof will be on. It looks like it

:09:17. > :09:17.will freshen up towards the weekend. It's glorious to be back at

:09:18. > :09:27.Wimbledon. Join us later for the evening

:09:28. > :09:42.programme at 6:30pm. Have a lovely afternoon and goodbye.

:09:43. > :10:10.Gay Britannia - a new season marking the 1967 Sexual Offences Act.
