could be the price the UK has to pay
to settle the Brexit divorce bill. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
That is | 0:00:00 | 0:00:12 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to BBC London News. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
I'm Sonja Jessup. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
The police watchdog is investigating
a complaint about the way emergency | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
helicopters were used to respond
to the Grenfell Tower fire. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
The complaint was made by a man
who lost several family | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
members in the blaze. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Tolu Adeoye joins me now - | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
so what was the complaint? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
We understand the complaint was made
by Nabil Choucair who lost six | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
members of his family and the fire
and he believes the presence of the | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
police helicopter in the sky that
night met many residents stayed in | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
the towel because they thought they
might be rescued. He also believes | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
the downdraught from the helicopters
fanned the flames making the fire | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
worse, so he lodged a complaint
after hearing 909 calls from members | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
of his family. Today Sarah Greene,
deputy chair of the IPCC, said while | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
there is at present no indication
any police officer may have | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
committed misconduct or a criminal
offence I have decided it is | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
appropriate for this complaint to be
investigated. The use of police | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
helicopters across the country is
coordinated by West Yorkshire Police | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
so their role will be looked at as
well as the role of the Met police. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
The Met is already investigating the
events of the night so they will | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
also be looking into this complaint,
but under the direction and control | 0:01:25 | 0:01:31 | |
of the IPCC. The IPCC asset that is
to avoid duplication of work while | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
ensuring that there is independent
oversight of the complaint. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
OK, thank you. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Two football stewards have
been taken to hospital - | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
after a disturbance outside
Crystal Palace's derby clash | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
at Brighton last night. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Brighton have released a statement -
saying a minority of Palace fans had | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
come to the Falmer Stadium "intent
on causing disorder". | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Palace supporters complained
on social media - claiming hundreds | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
were prevented from
getting into the ground. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Bigger housing developments could be
built in suburban town centres - | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
under the Mayor's plans to tackle
the shortage of homes | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
in the capital. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
Sadiq Khan has promised to "rip up"
existing planning rules - | 0:02:09 | 0:02:15 | |
in order to meet his target to build
65,000 homes a year. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
And he says half of them should be
genuinely affordable to Londoners. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Here's our political
editor Tim Donovan. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
The station at Twickenham, home
of English rugby, is finally | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
being redeveloped. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
But of the 115 homes to be built
here precisely none will be | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
affordable, a concession granted
so the scheme could be finished | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
in time for the World Cup in 2015. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
At the time the planning
committee were | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
pressured to accept the scheme with
no affordable because they wanted | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
the development to be completed
in time for the Rugby World Cup. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
In time for that..? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
You will notice that we are not
quite on schedule for that, so | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
very disappointing. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
It seems absurd to me that
you couldn't provide some | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
level of affordable
on a site this big. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
It just really is
a question of are you | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
prepared to build at
a high enough density? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Are councils like Richmond
with among the lowest building rates | 0:03:09 | 0:03:17 | |
in the capital now
in the Mayor's sights. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
You've got to make more
opportunities like this when they | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
arise, believes the Mayor. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Build higher, certainly
here in the suburbs. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
Create more density. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
And because this is a station it's
a chance to change behaviour. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
You can insist on fewer
cars by allowing | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
fewer car parking spaces. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Today he chose Barking
Riverside, the biggest | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
regeneration project in Europe
to outline his plans. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
regeneration project in Europe,
to outline his plans. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Experts have told him the capital | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
needs 43,000 affordable new homes
to be built each year. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
He wants more small-scale
developers involved and | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
the current restrictions on density,
how many homes that can be squeezed | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
onto sites, lifted. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
What I am saying to developers,
what I am saying to | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
councillors, what I am saying
to housing associations is it's | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
possible with good design to meet
the needs of Londoners, that means | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
high-density, good quality homes. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
But to his opponents
it is a threat to the suburbs. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Outer London is going to be
made to look like in | 0:04:08 | 0:04:08 | |
Outer London is going to be
made to look like inner | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
London and people live
in the suburbs because they like it, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
because it's greener,
because there's more space | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
and what he's actually | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
done is he's declared
war on outer London. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Every available means should be used
to build new homes, says the Mayor. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Clashes over location, type
and scale seem certain to follow. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Tim Donovan, BBC London News. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
A total of 350 firearms have been
handed in to the Met and City | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
of London Police as a result
of a two-week gun amnesty. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
The Met's described it as the most
successful of its kind | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
ever in the capital -
and says by handing over | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
the weapons, the owners it's helped
reduce the threat of gun crime. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
Campaigners say a woman
from West London - | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
who's in prison in Iran -
has been given an assessment to see | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
whether she's healthy
enough to stay in jail. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
was accused of spying while visiting | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Iran with her daughter last April,
which she denies. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
A local health official was told
she had panic attacks, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
insomnia, bouts of depression
and suicidal thoughts. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Charities are calling for councils
and housing trusts to be more | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
sympathetic to families struggling
with rising rent and welfare reform. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
Several families have told BBC
London they're facing | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
eviction this Christmas -
after local authorities | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
and landlords said they weren't
meeting their criteria. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Charities are calling
for greater understanding | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
for the needs of individuals. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
The housing associations have got
to take some responsibility, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:41 | |
if that debt's building up go and do
a home visit, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
see what's going on, actually
understand what the families are | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
going through. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Mum's got a health issue. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
She can't get out the house. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
She can't go from A to B. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
It's obvious there is something
going on, isn't there? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
So, if you'd done
an early intervention | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
with this family they
wouldn't end up here. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
You can find yoga classes
all over London - | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
and there are many who rave
about how its improved | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
and there are many who rave

Now a new centre has
opened in Islington | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
offering classes specifically
for people with disabilities. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:19 | |
The MahaDevi Centre provides bespoke
therapy for children with conditions | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
such as cerebral palsy and autism. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Our reporter Ayshea Buksh has more. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
The benefits of yoga
are well-known to many. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
This new centre in offers dedicated
classes for young people | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
with complex conditions, including
autism, cerebral palsy and Down | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
syndrome. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
Where is my hand, heh? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
Denisa Nenova studied this unique
method of practice and | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
believes it can really help children
here in the capital. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Yoga is an incredible
tool that can help | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
literally everyone, regardless
of their background, regardless of | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
their financial status, regardless
of their abilities and disabilities. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:58 | |
The postures were created to improve
muscle strength and balance, while | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
increasing mental and
physical self-awareness. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
Parents are also noticing
the change in their children. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
His posture is more upright. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:15 | |
He's using self-regulating
techniques for anxiety. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
And the young people
doing the classes | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
appear to be enjoying them. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
At first it was challenging
and now I can do | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
it and I'm proud of myself. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:34 | |
It's hoped these classes
will be taken up | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
by more yoga centres
across the country. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |

Over to the weather now -
Kate Kinsella is here. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:45 | |
It is feeling really chilly this
morning. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
And it is set to get colder but news
of that in a moment. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
This morning we had blue skies, it
was chilly, we have had some | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
sunshine but since then the cloud
has rolled in and this afternoon the | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
cloud will stay and we could see one
or two showers. The cloud and | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
showers are feeding in from East
Anglia, the North Sea, but drifting | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
further south, so to the north of
London, the Home Counties, you may | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
chance upon a shower and further
south it will be brighter but still | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
cold, five Celsius within the M25,
so a chilly afternoon. Factor in the | 0:08:16 | 0:08:22 | |
wind, it is north-westerly, it won't
feel like five Celsius, it will feel | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
colder. Overnight the cloud retreats
to the east, so clear skies, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
temperature drops down. Most places
will see zero, if not below, so a | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
widespread and hard frost by dawn
tomorrow morning. Chilly and bright | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
and brisk start to Thursday morning
and then the coldest day of the | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
week. We have this northerly
north-westerly wind, particularly | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
cold and quite brisk, more cloud in
the afternoon but still spells of | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
sunshine, staying predominantly dry.
You may clip a bit of a wintry | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
showers further north east, the
maximum temperature 2-4dC, factor in | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
the wind, it won't feel like that,
it will feel like zero. Very cold | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
day tomorrow. This continues,
although heading towards the weekend | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
the cold front moving across
Scotland, gradually drifting south, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
introducing more cloud and some
slightly less cold air. It will not | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
be warmed by any stretch of the
imagination but slightly less cold | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
for the weekend.
Kate, thank you. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
That's all we have time
for but Riz Lateef will have | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
more tonight at 6:30pm -
here on BBC One. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Enjoy your afternoon - bye-bye. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 |
