Welcome to BBC London News. - so it's goodbye from me - | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
A 15-year-old boy has been killed in a stabbing in Croydon. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
He's the second teenager to be stabbed to death | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Detectives have launched a murder investigation today. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Sonja Jessup has the latest from Thornton Heath. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Yet another police cordon in London, yet another young life lost to knife | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
crime, this one a schoolboy, just 15 years old. This latest stabbing | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
happened here in Thornton Heath late last night. Police and paramedics | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
rushed down here but could not say the teenager, he was pronounced dead | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
just before midnight. Local residents told me they are sick of | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
the violence and fear for their families. These are young men and | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
they have to go out and enjoy themselves, work, go to football, | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
whatever they want to do with their friends. They are supposed to be | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
able to do that and come home safely, but it is not happening. It | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
is like we are living in the wild west around here now. I was speaking | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
to a guy in the cafe and he said there have been about 12 stabbings | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
in the last three weeks. It is madness, it is silly what they are | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
doing to one another. Now I can see lots of changes and it is hurtful | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
really because a lot of it seems like black gangs and they are | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
fighting against each other. Why? I don't know. The murder of the | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
15-year-old comes just 24 hours after another stabbing, a | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
19-year-old man killed on Old Kent Road in south-east London. Police | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
have not named the 15-year-old victim here and so far no arrests | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
victim here and so far no arrests have been made. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
The Home Secretary has backed the use of stop and search to tackle | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Writing in The Times, Amber Rudd said she supports police | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
using stop and search to also deal with other offences, | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Yesterday the Met Commissioner Cressida Dick told the BBC she's | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
The London Fire Brigade has drafted in 60 counsellors to help treat | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
traumatised firefighters who tackled the blaze at Grenfell Tower. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
The figure is more than ten times the number of counsellors | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Crew involved in the rescue operation have described seeing | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
The husband of a woman who's been imprisoned in Iran says | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
he won't bring their daughter back to London without | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from Hampstead was arrested | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
in Tehran last April after visiting family. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Their two-year-old daughter is able to return to the UK. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
But her father Richard says he had promised his wife | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Now, when a British Paralympian was forced to wet herself on a train | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
journey, she was given a government promise that that would never happen | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Nearly a year on and Anne Wafula-Strike from Harlow says that | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
I am a Paralympian, I have an MBE, but last year I was forced | :03:15. | :03:27. | |
to wet myself on a train because the accessible | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Recent research suggests as many as 40% of restaurants and 30% | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
of shopping centres don't have disabled loos. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
The Equality Act states, businesses have a legal duty to make | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
reasonable adjustments to accommodate them. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
And despite promises from the Rail Minister that no one | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
will go through what I went through, it is still happening. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Virgin Trains has since had to apologise to passenger Chris. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
I booked a journey to Birmingham six weeks in advance | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
and they knew I was coming, but I found the toilet was out | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
of order when I got on the train and I ended up wetting myself | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
So I have decided to go to the Rail Minister | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
He tells me they are working on an action plan to | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
I am hoping when people see the accessibility action plan | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
they will see in it a range of ideas that not just makes sure that | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
passengers get a better service on the day, but that we can work | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
more tactically and more strategically to make sure that more | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
toilets are in service on trains in the first place. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
The action plan is due to be rolled out later this summer, | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
but it is not clear yet exactly what it will contain. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Earlier this year a government committee recommended changing | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
places toilets should be made compulsory in all buildings | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
So far, no legislation has been put in place to make that happen. | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
So it seems for the time being some disabled people | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Now, what do Ed Sheeran, Bob Geldof and Jessie J have in common? | :05:14. | :05:27. | |
Well, they started out busking on the Tube! | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
Now London Underground is giving other budding musicians | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
They'll have to impress a panel of expert judges | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
Pass that and they'll get the chance to play to thousands of commuters. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Nearly five million journeys are made on London's Underground | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
every day, so it is no surprise the musicians want to get | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
a license to busk to be heard by as many people as possible. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Transport for London don't just give out those licenses, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
they hold a proper audition, so I'm with one of the people | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
who were successful last time round, Nicola Hogg. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
The audition process was very much like any | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
audition that I have been to before, scary. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
You really want that thing and you put your heart on the table | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
and you are kind of like hoping that you want to get it. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Yeah, scary but exciting at the same time. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Definitely because I love music and this was an amazing opportunity | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
to play on the Underground and busk and go out every day | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Busking is amazing and to me it means opportunity, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
it gives you that opportunity to go out and share your music. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Do you manage to make a lot of money doing it as well? | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
I make enough to live and, yeah, just keep progressing. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Thank you, Nicola, enjoy your experience. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
The auditions are only held once every two years. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Applications are open, they close this Sunday, | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
and then the auditions will take place later this month. | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
The Thames Clipper boat service will be extended to Gravesend next | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
from the town's pontoon before being taken to central London | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
during a total journey time of one hour and ten minutes. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Passengers will be asked to fill in a survey about the service becoming | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
permanent. Highbury and Islington Station | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
was forced to close earlier today after heavy rain | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
flooded its ticket hall. Passengers were told trains weren't | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
stopping at the north London Station while work was done | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
to clear the water. The station eventually | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
reopened at around midday. Well, it has not been an especially | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
pleasant day so far. We have had grey skies | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
and scenes like this. There has been a lot | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
of rain around on all our Weather Watchers' pictures today, | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
showing puddles, raindrops. And heavy enough to cause | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
a few problems as well. We've had a little bit of localised | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
flooding here and there. This afternoon it is going to stay | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
rather wet and rather cool. The Met Office has a yellow weather | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
warning in place until tonight You can see it moving | :08:09. | :08:11. | |

the middle of August. Overnight tonight rest | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
assured that the rain Behind that some clearer | :08:32. | :08:34. | |

in the sunshine as well. The temperatures making | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
a bit of a recovery It stays in the same vein really, | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
not so much in the way of rain around and still the risk | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
of a shower, but some brighter spells and temperatures | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
