:00:14. > :00:17.Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London news with me Alice Salfield.
:00:18. > :00:20.It's well known that London needs thousands of new homes
:00:21. > :00:25.So could more high-quality flat-packed homes be the answer?
:00:26. > :00:28.A report by the London Assembly calls on the Mayor to do more
:00:29. > :00:30.to encourage this kind of prefab house building.
:00:31. > :00:32.Our Political Editor Tim Donovan has sent this
:00:33. > :00:46.Experts seem agreed that London needs at least 50,000 new homes to
:00:47. > :00:52.be built each year and at the moment the rate is less than half that.
:00:53. > :00:57.Could this be one of the solutions? This development in Dalston, 120
:00:58. > :01:03.residential units, business units as well. Most of it was constructed
:01:04. > :01:07.off-site elsewhere and then installed here. The first tenants
:01:08. > :01:12.have just moved in, it should be completed in the next few weeks and
:01:13. > :01:18.the architect involved in this project is Andrew Waugh. In simple
:01:19. > :01:24.terms, how has this come about? The structure is built from solid
:01:25. > :01:29.timber, six inches thick, 35 feet long, 12 feet high so it is
:01:30. > :01:35.prefabricated, brought on a truck here and screwed into place. And
:01:36. > :01:44.it's a factory in Austria? Yes, so we are building about a storey every
:01:45. > :01:50.month here. No more cement mixers, grinders or jackhammers. Very quiet
:01:51. > :01:57.and fast, and cost-efficient. But than traditional construction?
:01:58. > :02:03.Absolutely, it takes about a third of the time off. Are the incentives
:02:04. > :02:06.for people like you to carry on building this stuff? All of the help
:02:07. > :02:13.we can get to change the construct of industry is really very
:02:14. > :02:18.necessary. What is that, subsidy? It is an understanding of the planning
:02:19. > :02:21.system and the advantages of this way of building. The London Assembly
:02:22. > :02:25.report is adjusting the mayor should be doing more with his planning
:02:26. > :02:29.powers, the subsidies and the money he has available to make this sector
:02:30. > :02:30.expand, build more housing like this.
:02:31. > :02:34.The jury is considering its verdict at the trial of a man accused
:02:35. > :02:36.of trying to rob West Ham and England footballer,
:02:37. > :02:39.He claims a motorbiker pulled up alongside his car,
:02:40. > :02:44.Well, James Waterhouse is at Basildon Crown Court.
:02:45. > :02:46.James, this was a really shocking incident.
:02:47. > :03:00.Andy Carroll told this trial he was driving home from training in
:03:01. > :03:04.November last year, he stopped at some traffic lights and said a
:03:05. > :03:08.motorcyclist pulled up alongside him and demanded he hand over his
:03:09. > :03:12.?22,000 watch. He refused and proceeded to drive on the wrong side
:03:13. > :03:16.of the road back to the training ground where he presumed he would be
:03:17. > :03:22.more safe because there were security staff there. During the
:03:23. > :03:26.journey he made a 999 call and said he was being chased and caught one
:03:27. > :03:31.of the men was pointing a gun at him. Jack O'Brien was then arrested,
:03:32. > :03:35.found hiding under a bed in Dagenham and at that house police recovered a
:03:36. > :03:41.motorbike, a jacket and helmet which was used in a string of burglaries
:03:42. > :03:45.which Jack O'Brien has admitted to as well as this alleged attempted
:03:46. > :03:50.burglary which he denies. He hasn't given any evidence during this trial
:03:51. > :03:54.and the jury are now deciding the verdict.
:03:55. > :03:55.James Waterhouse at Basildon Crown Court.
:03:56. > :03:57.As we've been hearing, flowers are being laid and candles
:03:58. > :04:00.lit close to the Kensington home of Diana, Princess of Wales
:04:01. > :04:03.Many Londoners clearly remember the news of her death
:04:04. > :04:05.and are determined to keep her memory alive,
:04:06. > :04:09.She had wanted to be the queen of people's hearts,
:04:10. > :04:12.and 20 years on that's still how many see her.
:04:13. > :04:15.Abdul sent her flowers - a neighbour in Kensington.
:04:16. > :04:21.He named his cafe after her, with Diana's blessing.
:04:22. > :04:23.20 years ago, it was while I'm asleep.
:04:24. > :04:26.I wake up and I heard about the news and the disbelief happened
:04:27. > :04:29.when I came to the shop and it was about
:04:30. > :04:36.Suddenly I saw people coming, putting flowers and candles.
:04:37. > :04:47.20 years ago, people left flowers here, as they did across London.
:04:48. > :04:49.I was working on that Sunday 20 years ago,
:04:50. > :04:55.I assumed there was a training day and my editor
:04:56. > :05:03.There was a reaction of shock and disbelief.
:05:04. > :05:05.And when I came into London here in Kensington,
:05:06. > :05:09.I watched other people go through that same reaction.
:05:10. > :05:12.Looking back, some find it hard to understand why there had been
:05:13. > :05:14.such an outpouring of emotion for someone most didn't
:05:15. > :05:19.Ian met Diana many times as a royal photographer,
:05:20. > :05:22.and said she had a quality of relating to people not known
:05:23. > :05:30.With Diana, you could just talk to her as a normal person,
:05:31. > :05:32.Just someone who was normal, who wanted...
:05:33. > :05:36.and wanted to listen to what you had to say as well.
:05:37. > :05:39.This is an international milestone marked by people all over the world
:05:40. > :05:43.for one of the most famous women in a generation.
:05:44. > :05:45.An image still recognised and a legacy her sons
:05:46. > :05:57.Next, have you ever experienced sexual harassment in public?
:05:58. > :05:59.Well plenty of people in London feel they have.
:06:00. > :06:02.And now a project which is part photo-journalism and part awareness
:06:03. > :06:06.campaign is documenting some women's stories.
:06:07. > :06:08.It's been launched by Londoner Eliza Hatch after countless
:06:09. > :06:14.Let's take a look at some of her work, and the following content does
:06:15. > :06:24.One of them kept on staring at me, then later he sat next to me
:06:25. > :06:28.Then he tried to put his hand under my shorts,
:06:29. > :06:31.at which point I was like, "Can you please leave me alone?"
:06:32. > :06:34.But then, as I was getting off the bus, he touches me from my back
:06:35. > :06:38.down to my bum and at that point I obviously shout at him.
:06:39. > :06:41.Cheer Up Love is a photo-journalism project documenting
:06:42. > :06:50.women and the accounts of street harassment.
:06:51. > :06:54.It came about after a conversation I had with all of my female friends
:06:55. > :06:56.about how often we experienced sexual harassment
:06:57. > :07:03.Every other story I get seems to be men exposing themselves in public.
:07:04. > :07:07.A woman on a train, a woman on a bus look over and there's a man
:07:08. > :07:14.staring directly at them, giving themselves the time of day.
:07:15. > :07:18.As soon as I launched the project on Instagram,
:07:19. > :07:21.there's just been almost a constant flow of women who I've
:07:22. > :07:24.wanting to be involved and wanting to be photographed.
:07:25. > :07:27.I meet up with them, I talk to them and they share their stories,
:07:28. > :07:29.and now they are part of the project.
:07:30. > :07:32.I want to change people's attitude towards sexual harassment.
:07:33. > :07:34.I want people to know it's unacceptable, it to be a less
:07:35. > :07:40.That was Eliza Hatch, the photographer campaigning against
:07:41. > :07:51.Now the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini.
:07:52. > :07:55.Today is the last day of the meteorological summer and it is
:07:56. > :08:07.feeling more summary than it did yesterday. The chilly start, 7
:08:08. > :08:10.degrees here in Kew Gardens. It will feel warmer but there are heavy
:08:11. > :08:13.showers around as well which are likely to break out just about
:08:14. > :08:18.anywhere across the capital through the rest of the afternoon. There
:08:19. > :08:22.could be a rumble of thunder and some of the showers could be
:08:23. > :08:27.particularly heavy. Your chances of escaping all of them all afternoon
:08:28. > :08:31.are particularly low. Those showers will fizzle away through the
:08:32. > :08:36.evening, watch out for them through the rush hour. Overnight tonight it
:08:37. > :08:39.will be dry with clear skies around, probably missed patches forming.
:08:40. > :08:45.These are temperatures in many of the towns but in rural spots we will
:08:46. > :08:49.start off on a chilly note, single figures again. After the early
:08:50. > :08:55.morning mist clears, lots of sunshine around but there could
:08:56. > :09:03.still be some showers in the afternoon. The first day of the
:09:04. > :09:07.meteorological autumn, 21 Celsius so a fairly decent day all in all. On
:09:08. > :09:11.Saturday this is when we will see the best of the sunshine, dry for
:09:12. > :09:15.much of the day but we could see some rain edge in from the west as
:09:16. > :09:15.we head through the evening on Sunday.
:09:16. > :09:19.We'll be here with our 6:30 evening programme.
:09:20. > :09:44.But for now, from us all, a very good afternoon.
:09:45. > :09:47.I took something that didn't belong to me.
:09:48. > :10:03.and make sure your hands are in the centre of her chest.
:10:04. > :10:05.One and two and three. One, two, three. Yeah, that's it.
:10:06. > :10:17.After recent terrorist attacks, how are we really feeling?
:10:18. > :10:20.Went down to London on my own. It was very, very busy.
:10:21. > :10:25.Everybody that had a backpack, "Have they got a bomb in there?
:10:26. > :10:28.And I just started having a real panic attack.
