mowing down 14 people in Barcelona. That's all from us, goodbye from me | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News with me, Alice Salfield. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
This weekend marks the first anniversary of the night tube. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
City Hall says passenger numbers have exceeded expectations | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
and it's brought an economic boost to the capital. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Let's talk to our political editor Tim Donovan - | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
one of the most used on the night tube. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Tim, after a tricky start getting this project off the ground, is this | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
There were disagreements at the start and the unions are not that | :00:46. | :01:01. | |
happy. But it was here at Brixton a year ago when the night Tube started | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
with the Mayor Presiding Officer ceremonials. Victoria line, Central | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
line, five lines in all running this on Fridays and Saturdays. 8 million | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
journeys have happened on the night Tube and about half of those are new | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
passengers, people other than those who have just shifted from using | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
that buses or taxis. City Hall are saying that there has been a | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
significant economic boost. Well, I think it felt like a success | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
from the first train rolling out of Brixton but, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
in fact, we've got an independent report now that shows there's been | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
a huge boost to the economy, about 170 million this year, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
and it's supporting a lot of jobs So I think it's established itself | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
very well, and in many ways has She talks about supporting jobs. Not | :01:42. | :02:00. | |
quite clear what that means, if not creating new jobs but maybe ensuring | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
longer hours, and more pay and so on. There had been concern among | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
people living on the route of some of these lines towards outer London, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
particularly the Central line, about the noise through the night and | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
potential for legal action. City Hall insist they will be moving | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
ahead on this with maybe the district and Circle line in a few | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
years' time but before that they want to do it on the overground, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
joining up places like Dawson and New Cross. -- Dalston. | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
The number of people falling victim to a disturbing trend | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
of "cyber-flashing" in public places could be higher than reported | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
because women are not alerting the crime to authorities. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
The revelation from the police comes after a woman was sent | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
more than 100 sexual images to her phone | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
You are sitting on the tube, you're looking at your phone, | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
and suddenly it is filled with dozens of obscene images. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
That is what happened to you wasn't it, Sophie? | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
I was travelling home from work on Monday evening | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
And when we pulled into Stockwell Tube station, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
my phone automatically connected to the Wi-Fi and I got a request | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
I declined the request and got off at the next stop. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
That must have been a huge shock for you. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
It was. It was shocking. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Initially I was quite confused about what was happening. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
And then I felt embarrassed, with a small child | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
I was a little bit worried about them seeing. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Then I just felt angry that this had happened just | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
It wasn't dark. I was just heading home from work. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Now whoever sent this has used the facility called AirDrop | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
It is common left on on people's phones. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
How many women do you think this is happening to? | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
So, what we found when we investigated this | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
was that anecdotally, this is far more widespread | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
So I was speaking to a researcher at university | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
who is investigating this type of crime, and she believes | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
and that women aren't coming forward and reporting it | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to the British Transport Police, either because they feel embarrassed | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to do so or because they don't believe that it's a crime | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
If this has happened to you, get in touch | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
They have a dedicated cyber crime unit which deals | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
A reward is being offered for information that helps catch | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the person who violently attacked an 82-year-old | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
woman on her doorstep, stealing ?65. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Catherine Smith was assaulted in Streatham just over three weeks ago. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
She was followed home from a local park by a woman | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
who punched her several times before taking the money. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
The charity, Crimestoppers, has put up a ?5,000 reward. | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
A new company will take charge of one of the busiest railways | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
South Western Railway, will replace South West Trains. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
The operator is promising 90 new commuter trains - | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
designed for the driver to operate the doors - | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
a move which is likely to face opposition from the unions. | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
Next, it's been a summer like no other in London. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
While the investigation continues into the fire at Grenfell Tower, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
a local play centre has helped the children in North Kensington | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
A special performance of Bugsy Malone had its | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
one and only showing yesterday - and Caroline Davies went to see it. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Backstage, the cast are feeling confident. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
I used to be stage fright, and now, when I did this play, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
for some reason I felt like I was doing it so easily. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Bugsy Malone has only been in rehearsal for four days, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
but it's already made an impact on these children, | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
many of whom were affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
It was very terrifying to watch that happen, | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
and it's not nice to look at Grenfell Tower ever again. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Loads of people here that are doing the play | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
So just people, like, they act, they express themselves | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
and they forget about it and they just... | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
# We could have been anything that we wanted to be... | :06:23. | :06:35. | |
It's part of a free sports and arts programme for children | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Bernadette's brother Raymond died in the fire. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
He lived on the 23rd floor, so it's been good for the girls | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
to come here, because it's been a real distraction for them. | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
They just needed the community understanding, really. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
And I appreciate that everybody's felt what happened | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
at Grenfell nationwide, but to be in the community | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
and everybody's feeling the same pain. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
And the children are all feeling the same pain, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
so they can all talk to each other and comfort each other. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
I think this has given children the opportunity to forget anything | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
that's gone on and really enjoy themselves, and that's what we've | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
tried to deliver this summer over the last five weeks, | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
and I think we've achieved that from this production | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
and from the smiles on the children's faces every day. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
And, of course, it's hard not to smile when you've got a splurge gun. | :07:35. | :07:46. | |
Now Lucy's here with the weather - and it can't quite make | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
It is a real story of mixed fortunes today, with sunny spells and | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
showers. Our Weather Watchers have been out taking photos of the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
weather near them. This, a Sunni scene from Twickenham and some blue | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
sky in Old Street, looking fairly sunny, there. There is a mixture of | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
sunny spells and showers. Some of those have the potential to be | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
fairly heavy. There could be the odd rumble of thunder and flash of | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
lightning. They are moving quickly thanks to a strong, south-westerly | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
breeze. Temperatures down on yesterday with a maximum of 21. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Yesterday we saw highs of 25. Feeling a bit fresher. This evening | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
and overnight, one or two showers to look out for in the first half of | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
the night. Then it will become dry into the early hours. Clear spells | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
with overnight lows of 12 Celsius. Tomorrow, an improvement on today, | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
sunny spells to begin with and it will be fairly breezy first thing. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Showers to look out for but you will be fairly unlucky to catch one of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
them. Then rain will ease as we go into the afternoon with temperatures | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
reaching a maximum of perhaps 22 Celsius. As we move into Sunday we | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
see the remnants of Hurricane GERT pushing in from the South West and | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
that will introduce humid air so becoming human to start the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
beginning of next week and not a bad day tomorrow, a mixture of sunny | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
spells and showers. Thank you. Victoria Hollins will be here | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
with our 6:30 evening programme. Until then though, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
enjoy your afternoon. # So get yourself ready | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
