That's all from the BBC News at One
- so it's goodbye from me - | 0:00:00 | 0:00:14 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to BBC London News. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
I'm Sonja Jessup. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
Knife crime in the
capital is on the rise | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
and today a new campaign's been
launched | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
urging young people
not to carry a weapon. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
The Mayor Sadiq Khan hopes
teenagers will take to social | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
media to back the message
"London Needs You Alive". | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
But amidst the many violent videos
available online glamorising knives, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
will young people take any notice? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Here's our Home Affairs
Correspondent Nick Beake. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:43 | |
I and this postcode. I am this city.
I'm important. -- I am this | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
postcode. Young voices from
different parts of this city, all | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
with the same message. London leads
me alive. London needs me alive. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
After a year of more stabbings, this
is the attempt by the mayor to get | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
teenagers to think twice before
reaching for a blade. -- London | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
needs me alive. So I don't carry a
knife. The play is that London | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
desperately needs their talents.
London needs you live! In Brixton, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
Sadiq Khan met children who had been
posting online explaining why their | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
lives are valuable. It is a campaign
backed by London rappers, bloggers | 0:01:24 | 0:01:30 | |
and musicians, it is hoped their
status on social media will help the | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
message gets through. Will this make
a difference? We have a door that we | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
can to address the issue of knife
crime, rising across the country, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
not just London, part of a package
of measures along with schools | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
playing their part, the police
playing their part, parents, civic | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
leaders, youth leaders, all of us
have a role in order to make sure we | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
address the knife crime. Yvonne's
teenage son was stabbed to death in | 0:01:54 | 0:02:00 | |
Edmonton seven years ago. It can
make a huge difference to the young | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
people already engrossed in
criminality... But that is yet to be | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
proven... This positive message may
well get to some kids in London, but | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
there is no doubt it will also be
competing with many other negative | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
messages online. We're talking back
videos, music, which glorify | 0:02:15 | 0:02:22 | |
violence, intensified gang rivalry,
and leads to more knife crime. For | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
eight months this year, YouTube
refused the Met police's request to | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
take down these four videos, now | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
refused the Met police's request to
take down these four videos, now | 0:02:34 | 0:02:34 | |
they have relented, apart from this
one, still up-to-date, which | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Scotland Yard | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
one, still up-to-date, which
Scotland Yard claims is encouraging | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
stabbings. So, social media videos,
a force for good and bad. In this | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
case, they hope that it will save
lives. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Plans to build a new Westfield
shopping centre in Croydon have been | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
approved by the local council. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
The £1.4 billion
centre has been hailed | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
as "fantastic news" for the area | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
with the promise of 7,000 new jobs
and a 1,000 new homes. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Work, which will see the town's
Whitgift and Centrale shopping | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
centres redeveloped, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
will begin in 2019. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
Not long to go before
Children In Need. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
The big day is this Friday. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
Last year millions
of pounds were raised. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Which helped many charities right
here in the capital. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Among them, the Ahoy
Centre in south London, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
which works with disadvantaged young
people, teaching them life skills | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
through sailing on the Thames. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:38 | |
Three, two, one... One of the mottos
that we have here at Ahoy Centre, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:45 | |
whatever is on the outside, stuffed
with schooling, family pressures, we | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
leave that at the door. You come in,
we are here to sail and learn and | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
have fun. My name is set, I am a
senior instructor. I came you when I | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
was 12 to 13, and now, I run the
apprenticeship programme. A lot of | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
people who come here, myself
included, they did not do amazingly | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
well at school. I have dyslexia.
When it comes to the more practical | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
side, I think that I have done a lot
better. -- my name is Zack. The | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
water is not at its cleanest, so we
will not be going on the water, but | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
there is still lots of fun stuff to
do on land. Exactly. We are based on | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
the board of Deptford, with
Greenwich, and there are some | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
families that may be more
disadvantaged than others. That is | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
partly the people that we take in,
we also take in people with learning | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
difficulties. The main demographic
is eight to 12-year-old. My name is | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Emmanuel, we go sailing, we learn
how to do tacking, and I like coming | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
here because I learn new fun stuff
with my best friend, ester. -- | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Emanuela. My name is Esther and I
just finished my three-week stage | 0:04:49 | 0:04:57 | |
one course, and happily, I passed.
When I am on the water, I feel like | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
I can be free, I do not worry about
anything. Sometimes it is just good | 0:05:02 | 0:05:09 | |
to go places, and not always be at
home. The money that is raised goes | 0:05:09 | 0:05:16 | |
towards helping young people find a
hobby or find something they wish to | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
continue. For these kids, not only
are they learning new skills, they | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
are socialising, they make and find
friends they never would have had. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:38 | |
Now I don't know what your memories
of school dinners are like- | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
but students in north London have
been served up platefuls of insects. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
It's part of a project to get them
thinking about alternative | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
ways to feed everyone
on the planet in future. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Caroline Davis has bravely been
to Clapton Girls Academy | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
to see what's on the menu. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
This is not your normal school
lunch, and these are not your normal | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
ingredients. Here we have got some
mealworms. Grasshoppers add a nice | 0:05:57 | 0:06:04 | |
spicy tangy taste. I will leave some
behind so the kids can see what they | 0:06:04 | 0:06:10 | |
are eating. Waiting nervously, the
students. It is more ethical but | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
also I am a bit... Report... It is
disgusting, but let's see! God | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
knows! First up, insect cuss cuss,
which took some getting used to. It | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
is the fact that... I cannot swallow
it. Then hummus and dips with a | 0:06:26 | 0:06:33 | |
sprinkling of mealworms. -- cous
cous. It was all right, but I would | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
try it again. You have got a few
more courses to come! O God! I do | 0:06:38 | 0:06:44 | |
not get away that lightly. Down the
hatch... Well... Crunchy... This is | 0:06:44 | 0:06:56 | |
not only about testing your taste
buds, there is something educational | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
going on too. Today's event is about
understanding how and why insects | 0:06:59 | 0:07:06 | |
are sustainable but we also are
challenging their mindset about what | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
they can eat. Onto the main,
mealworms burgers, they divide | 0:07:12 | 0:07:18 | |
opinion. These worms... It is a bit
scratchy... But it tastes like a | 0:07:18 | 0:07:24 | |
normal burger. Would they eat
insects again? At first I was | 0:07:24 | 0:07:32 | |
scared, but now I am a bit more... I
am more calm about it but I still | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
would not eat this in the future. I
am kind of afraid of insects, now | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
they are kind of good. It is a start
but the meal of the future might be | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
an acquired taste. No, that is
disgusting! | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
I thought they do very well to try
it anyway! Time for the weather | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
forecast. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Predominantly cloudy, one or two
brighter spells, one or two places | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
rather grey and rather gloomy, this
will continue into the afternoon. We | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
may get one or two brighter spells
but in the most part, it will remain | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
rather grey, despite all this cloud,
it is feeding quite mild, the | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
temperature this afternoon in the
light wind getting up to 13 Celsius. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
For mid-November, not too bad at
all. Overnight tonight, once the sun | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
sets, conditions stay similar,
another mild night, a bit of mist | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
and murk developing, so difficult
driving conditions tomorrow morning | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
we could see spots of light rain and
drizzle. Temperature barely sift | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
shifting from the maximum, nine or
10 Celsius. Similar start tomorrow | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
morning, misty and murky, fog
lifting, respite later in the | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
morning, bright spells, sunshine
ahead of the next weather front, | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
which comes towards the end of the
afternoon, being cloud. Temperature, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
mild, 14 Celsius. Light rain arrives
through Thursday afternoon into the | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
evening, moving south, behind it,
the air is much clearer. No cloud, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:06 | |
temperature drops down to low single
figures, could be waking up to a | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
frost on Friday morning, it is going
to be cold but we should at least | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
see the return of some sunshine. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
That's all from us
on the lunchtime team. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
There's more at 6.30pm,
with Claudia Liza. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
Have a great | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 |
