And on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Welcome to BBC London News. I'm Victoria Hollins. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Traders say they've lost everything in the fire at Camden Lock Market. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
As we've been hearing, it took 70 firefighters to get | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the blaze under control in the early hours of this morning. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Sarah Harris is there for us this lunchtime. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
Millions of visitors come to Camden market every year. This is what some | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
of them would have seen just after midnight last night. The central | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
market Hall, four stories, three of them on fire. That was last night. | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
This is a hub, the centre also of hundreds of small businesses, 30 | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
stallholders were based in this market Hall. I spoke to one do stay | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
few minutes after she was taken to what was left of her school by | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
firefighters. They called me at 12 | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
o'clock and I was sleeping. I thought it was an emergency call | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
so I took the phone up And she said, "Camden | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Lock is on fire". How long have you had it? | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
It's a silver jewellery stall. Probably 15 years. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
15 years. Will you be able | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
to retrieve anything? Everything gone, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
that is what I saw now. London Fire Brigade reasonably happy | :01:30. | :01:45. | |
with how they have managed to tackle this fire. They were here just after | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
12 o'clock, within two hours, they contained it. Behind me, they are | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
trying to save what stock they can to stallholders. Obviously, there is | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
a lot of flammable material, which is why so many people have lost so | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
much. Most of the market remains open, and an investigation is | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
underway into what caused the fire. Sarah, thank you very much. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Zane Gbangbola was just seven when he died in his home. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
It was during the Chertsey floods, three years ago. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
An inquest said it was because of petrol pumps | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
being used in the basement to remove floodwater. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
His parents have always disagreed blaming a landfill site | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
by their home for releasing toxic fumes when it flooded. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Now, this programme has seen letters from the council offering | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
to pay others nearby, to protect their homes | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
from the landfill. Alex Bushill reports. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
As you can see from Zane's pictures, a very beautiful boy. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
He was always smiling, always having fun. | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
Our life is destroyed as you would expect, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
For Zane's family, there are still so many questions. | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
It may not look it, but this is a historic landfill site. | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
Now, Zane's parents have always maintained that there their son died | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
as a result of toxic gases released from there when the family home | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
and other properties here in Chertsey were flooded in 2014. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
But that theory was rejected by an inquest last year, | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
which ruled instead that Zane died from carbon monoxide poisoning | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
from a petrol pump his parents were using in the basement | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Surrey County Council has written to nearby properties. | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
Specifically replacing any sealed air bricks that might prevent any | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
The letter raises concerns for any properties in proximity to landfill, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
advising them that there will be migrating landfill gases. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
That will build up beneath properties. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
This is essentially what we've been saying all along. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
The letter came after Zane's inquest. | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
And of course, now it's quite clear that what we've been saying has been | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
In response, Surrey County Council released a statement. | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
And the local District Council also underlined how this | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
was merely a precaution, relating to potential risks | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
from landfill in general, and not specifically this site. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
It is of no comfort to Zane's father who is now calling | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
for an independent public inquiry for the answers he still seeks. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Police investigating an acid attack in Beckton last month | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Resham Khan and her cousin Jameel Muhktar suffered face | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
and neck injuries when the acid was thrown through their car window | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
24-year-old John Tomlin handed himself in to an East London | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
He's been looking after 2,500 acres for over | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
30 years, but now the Richmond Park gamekeeper is retiring. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
He's written a book about his time there, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
calling it the best job in the world. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Gareth Furby's been to meet him, and be warned, | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
you may find a few of the images in this report upsetting. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
After 30 years, John Bartram is saying goodbye to | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Best job in the world. It's a job that everybody wanted. | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
John Bartram has spent most of his life as gamekeeper in Richmond Park. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
All 2500 acres of it. And no one knows the place better. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Every day, he's checked on the 600 deer and every year searched | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
I have done it sometimes and the baby thinks I'm mum. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
And I've gone to walk away and he's running behind me. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
But as well as new life, John has had to deal | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
While we were filming, another call came in. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
What's that? A dead deer. | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
If you find the sight of dead animals upsetting | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
But for John, this is just part of the job. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
I don't know what's happened here. Could have been hit by a car. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
I mean, there's been times when it's been hit by a car | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
still alive but it's in serious trouble. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
And it needs dealing with. So you might have to shoot it. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
And as gamekeeper, John was also tasked with the annual cull | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
where for three months of the year selected deer are shot to keep | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
You're going for the worst animal every time. | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
You're looking for one that, you think, in the natural world, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
And until the policy change, John would prepare venison | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
meat from the cull, for Buckingham Palace | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
They would all get a free haunch, which was a back | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
leg to the first rib. No one gets a free haunch now. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Tony Blair stopped it, and the Labour Party. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Not even the Queen? No. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Some things may have changed, but in many ways, Richmond Park | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
is still the place it was when first established in 1637. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
And now it's saying farewell to a gamekeeper who gave it | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
the best years of his life. Gareth Furby, BBC London News. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Now the weather with Wendy Hurrell at Wimbledon. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
We are on cloud what at the moment, because today, we have seen | :07:46. | :07:57. | |
thunderstorms path up across Hertfordshire and Essex. It is not | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
out of the question that we will get one here as well. For the rest of | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
this afternoon, for most of us, it will be warm sunshine. As the heat | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
rises, there is the chance of a shower building up. The Met office | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
has a weather warning in place for Kent and Sussex, and Essex | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
especially today, because the showers are developing. Through the | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Ming, the first part of tonight, one or two heavy thundery showers | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
around. Not quite as muggy as previous night, but temperatures | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
around 15 at the lowest. Tomorrow will have a different feel, not much | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
sunshine, quite leaden skies with outbreaks of rain, it might be stop | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
and start here, and in the afternoon, a huge area of rain is | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
moving in towards the end of the day, and it will be fresher as well. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Temperature is 20 or 21. Rain will continue overnight into Wednesday. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Big puddles by then. Wednesday afternoon will brighten up and dry | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
out, temperatures around normal for the time of year. The outlook is for | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
a fine day on Thursday, perhaps with a outbreak of rain through the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
evening, and Friday will be mostly dry as well. Rain for the gardens | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
throughout tomorrow afternoon, that is the shore. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Riz Lateef will be here with our 630 evening programme. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
But for now, from us all, a very good afternoon. | :09:26. | :09:42. | |
