Welcome to BBC London News. I'm Alice Salfield. | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
The body in charge of running Grenfell Tower before the fire, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
has been stripped of its power over the local estate. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The decision comes as the Prime Minister met victims of the fire, | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
and the local council unveiled some of the new homes it's bought | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
for Grenfell survivors. Here's Karl Mercer. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
From the chandeliers shop across Kings Road, these early flats chose | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
-- Kensington and Chelsea cancel as bored as new homes for victims of | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the Grenfell Tower fires. There are 30 homes here, bought for around ?20 | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
million. Three families from Grenfell have said they want to live | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
here. Today, the leader of Kensington and Chelsea visited the | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
site. The morning after Grenfell residents had met the Prime Minister | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
to tell her I were unhappy they were with the council response to the | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
fire. I spoke to the Prime Minister this morning. I accept there is a | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
legacy of lack of trust left over from how the council performed after | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the fire. But look here, look at what we are doing today. Look at the | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
flats, the quality of the offer, the fact so many people have engaged | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
with us. We getting there. I accept it is slow but we're getting here. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
The Prime Minister revealed she told residents that the body that rend | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Grenfell Tower for the council would be stripped of its power over the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
estate. I was able to tell them that the tenant management organisation | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
will no longer have responsibility for the Lancaster West housing | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
estate. People were pleased to hear that. What we were also able to do | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
was to hear from some specific issues that individuals had at that | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
meeting. The council said it will eventually take over all of the | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
stock from the organisation but will do so in stages. So far, only nine | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
of 180 families that need rehousing have accepted permanent new homes. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
A man from Hertfordshire says his pregnant wife faces | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
They met in the UK while she was studying here. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
The Home Office refused her visa on the grounds that they could live | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
together in China - something they say is impractical. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Sarah Harris has been to meet the couple. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
Precious moments studying every detail of their final scan. Their | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
first child is due next month. But this married couple, living in their | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
own comfortable home in Saint Alden 's, have been told by the Home | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Office there is no reason after their baby is born they shouldn't | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
move to China. I just burst into tears. I couldn't even tell her what | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
had happened I was that distressed. I really thought it would go through | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
this time. It is so heartbreaking it has not gone through. I was waiting | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
for my husband to come back. It has destroyed our world, hasn't it? Yes. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
The couple married in November after falling in love earlier in the year. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
When they applied to extend Wanwan pots Visa, it was refused. They are | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
rejecting her application on the grounds that they want us to move to | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
China. My wife has been going to classes. She has a good support | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
group. It is heartbreaking. In a statement, the Home Office says the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Visa has been refused because it didn't meet immigration rules. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
However, she can remain in the UK to have her baby. This immigration | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
expert says rules are rules. Before entering into relationships | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
with migrants, you need to know whether they have the correct amount | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
of leave. Especially having children. You are supposed to plan a | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Visa application. It would have been prudent if they had the Visa sorted | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
first and then decided to make a family. The couple deny any rules | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
have been broken and will keep fighting to stay here in the home | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
they have created further young family. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
A 10-year-old girl has managed to fight off a sex attacker, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
after he assaulted her as she walked in woodland. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Surrey Police have released this computer generated | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
It happened in Claygate early last Thursday evening. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Police say the victim escaped by kicking the man, who then ran off. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Police say they're making every effort to identify the man, | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
and have stepped up patrols in the area. | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
The Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford is going to charge | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
disabled people for parking from next month. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
It'll cost Blue Badge holders ?4 a visit. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
The hospital has apologised, but says it's had to "make difficult | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
decisions when budgets are under pressure". | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Disability campaigners say the charge is unfair. | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
Lots of disabled people are unable to use public transport. They have | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
to use a card to get it. There is no choice. What disabled people have | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
fought for over the last 20, 30 years, are being pared away, and we | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
are moving back to a situation where macro we were the lowest and poorest | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
in society. Designs being considered | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
for the rebuilding of an 18th Century mansion in Surrey | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
which was destroyed by fire Clandon Park House was left | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
as a burning shell nearly Now six teams of architects | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
from across the globe have put forward their plans to restore | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
the site, as Matt Treacy explains. An electrical fire has quickly | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
spread through the grade one A treasured mansion | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
reduced to a shell. Today sitting under 30 | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
miles of scaffolding, the inside of the house is ready | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
to be rebuilt. Doing the right thing | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
is incredibly important. And what we do today and how | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
that is viewed in 50, Teams of architects from around | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
the world have reimagined how the inside and surroundings | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
could look. The aim is to open more | :06:39. | :06:39. | |
of the house than ever before. Six have been short listed | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
and all have been asked to bring This is the marble Hall, the most | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
significant room in the house. We would be looking | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
for a like-for-like It was just a wonderful space, | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
twin height, Baroque, and with the magnificent room that | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
would form the entrance to Clandon Refurbishment on this | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
scale do not come cheap. But it is hoped some | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
materials salvaged from A panel of experts and locals will | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
select the winners in the autumn. The winning design will not | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
necessarily be the final design but that team will work | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
with the National Trust to create Looking forward to seeing it | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
restored. A warm start to the day. Time now to find out | :07:32. | :07:47. | |
what the weather's up Good afternoon. A cloudy few hours. | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
The sunshine did tease us first thing. One of a Weather Watchers was | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
out and about and captured this picture. Thank you for all your | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
pictures. We should see more sunshine as we head into the next | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
few hours. A very pleasant afternoon. A light westerly breeze. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Temperatures getting up to 25 Celsius. Still feeling moggy. If you | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
are not a fan of humidity, pressure conditions tonight. It will not be | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
as warm as it was last night. Temperatures dipping down to 1213 | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
degrees. Looking try with clear spells overnight. Into tomorrow, it | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
will be feeling fresh from the start. And still a lot of sunny | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
spells around. A lot of dry weather on the cards. Varying amounts of | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
cloud. Temperatures quite a lot lower than they have been in recent | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
days. It is a similar day for Friday. A lot of dry weather over | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
the next few days. And always some sunny spells. On Saturday and Sunday | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
we take in some warmer air. That could trigger some thundery showers. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
However, if you escape those showers, you could get away with a | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
very pleasant bank holiday weekend. But Alice Bhandhukravi will be back | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
with all the latest at 6.30 tonight. For now though, from all of us | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
on the lunchtime team, have a lovely afternoon. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
