News at one, goodbye from me on BBC | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
One we join the | 0:00:00 | 0:00:12 | |
Good afternoon, I'm Asad Ahmad. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:18 | |
The police and the RSPCA are urging
people not to buy puppies | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
as Christmas presents after a rise
in the number of dead dogs found | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
dumped by roadsides. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
They're believed to be treated
as waste by illegal breeders | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
cashing in on seasonal sales. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Officers say animals are being bred
in appallingly cruel conditions | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
by organised criminal gangs. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Just to warn you,
Yvonne Hall's report does | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
contain upsetting images. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:48 | |
They look adorable and healthy. But
these puppies have been bred | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
illegally for sale in North London
and are underfed, riddled with | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
parasites and very sick. This is
what happens to the weakest puppies | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
who die in illegal conditions, they
get dumped by the roadside. The | 0:01:03 | 0:01:10 | |
latest batch found in ambition. This
is going on every day, waste from | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
puppy traders is being discarded
like household rubbish. In the | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
run-up to Christmas, it is
particularly bad. We do see an | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
increase in puppy buying, selling,
at this time of year. I think the | 0:01:24 | 0:01:32 | |
local find in permission has
reopened the fact that we are seeing | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
a spike -- in ambition. At this
illegal farm, some found dead. They | 0:01:36 | 0:01:46 | |
are emaciated, awful conditions,
extremely skinny, used time after | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
time for litter after litter. The
puppies themselves are kept in very | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
small, dark enclosures, in absolute
filth. The RSPCA and the police are | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
warning organised criminal gangs are
involved making up to £1000 per | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
puppy. Some force vulnerable people
to sell them. They have had threats | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
made against themselves, against
their family, they have been | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
intimidated, harassed, bullied. The
charity is urging prospective buyers | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
to follow its contract guidelines
for puppies to help stamp out the | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
illegal trade. At least for one of
the Sikh puppies rescued in north | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
London, a happy ending. This is him
now, adopted by the Met Police | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
officer who helped to save him. He
definitely -- you definitely need to | 0:02:36 | 0:02:42 | |
be able to see both sets of parents,
their history, where they have come | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
from. Yvonne Hall, BBC London news. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
Heathrow Airport has
cut its estimated expansion costs | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
by over £2 billion as it
makes a new proposal | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
for a third runway. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
It comes from reducing the space
needed and changes to building work. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
The proposal will be put
to the public next year, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
but there's already criticism
from campaign groups | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
who say the lower cost does
nothing to address fears | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
over environmental damage. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
A court has heard how a homeless
man, who damaged a £24 million | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Thomas Gainsborough painting
in the National Gallery | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
this year, did it because
a voice in his head | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
told him to. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Keith Gregory is accused
of slashing the painting | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
called The Morning Walk
using a drill bit. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
He's pleaded not guilty
to the charge of causing criminal | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
damage by reason of insanity. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
The case continues. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
The much-awaited Crossrail
is in its final stages | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
and will open to the public
in 12 months' time. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
So, the countdown has
begun,and to mark it, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Transport for London | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
has released a tube map to show us
how we'll be able to get around | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
when the Elizabeth line
is up and running. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
There are positive noises about
London's next big infrastructure | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
project, Crossrail 2. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
Our transport correspondent,
Tom Edwards, has been | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
taking a look at it. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
These huge platforms
are at Farringdon Crossrail station | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
and in a year's time,
trains will be running through here. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
Today news that in central London,
fares on the Elizabeth line will be | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
the same as the tube. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
In terms of where it
covers normal TFL zones, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
it will be exactly the same fare
structure because we recognise this | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
is going to take some
business from other lines, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
of course it will, but we also know
people who perhaps have not used | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
the Central line or Jubilee line
in the last few years, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:30 | |
they perceive them to be very busy,
and they will, of course, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
come back to using the underground | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
and that, of course,
is about supporting | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
London's continued growth. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
The Elizabeth line will initially
start in three sections and already | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
there are plans for the next big
infrastructure project, Crossrail 2. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
The cost? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
£30 billion. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
And the Government wants TFL
to raise half of that up front, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
through business rates,
councils and developers. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
City Hall admits the funding
is a big challenge. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:55 | |
We are absolutely confident
from the figures we have already | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
submitted that London can fund half
of the capital programme | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
that we would need for Crossrail 2. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
It is not easy but we can do it. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
The pay back, both in terms
of what comes to TFL | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
and the Treasury, but to London's
businesses and Londoners, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
is fantastic. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
Crossrail 2 will run
from south-west London and Surrey | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
through the capital to
Hertfordshire. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Today the Government
seemed positive. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
So, do you think it will happen? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
Yes, I believe it will. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
There are some quite
specific capacity challenges | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
across the network in London
that still remain. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Crossrail 2 has the ability
to solve a number of them. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
We need to make sure, therefore,
that we ensure Crossrail 2 tackles | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
the challenges we most need to be
tackled here in London. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
As this huge engineering project
enters its final stages | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
to match London's growth,
the capital's already looking | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
at new infrastructure. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
The challenge, as it was initially
on Crossrail, is funding. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Tom Edwards, BBC London news. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
As many people wind down
from work as we approach Christmas, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
there are still many jobs
which will be staffed, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
like our servicemen and women. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
We've been behind the scenes
with the Household Cavalry | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
as the Defence Secretary came
to thank them and all our Armed | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Forces for their service. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
Tolu Adeyoye reports. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
They are the public face of the
British Army and the mounted escort | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
Her Majesty the Queen. The Household
Cavalry is the only's oldest and | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
most senior regiment. Out on parade,
looking smart, clean, very good | 0:06:28 | 0:06:37 | |
tempered, the soldiers come down at
11am... They are here for 24 hours. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
The horses do one hour on, one hour
off until 4pm in the evening. The | 0:06:43 | 0:06:49 | |
soldiers, the foot reliefs, they
will be on their feet for two hours, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
staggered, until later. I put my
tunic on, the jacket on underneath, | 0:06:54 | 0:07:03 | |
then I put on my cloak, and my
boots, my sword and scabbard. I do | 0:07:03 | 0:07:10 | |
up my cloak, helmet on, ready to go.
Household Cavalry soldiers are | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
trained for battle as one is
ceremonial duties. Today the Defence | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Secretary came to thank them and all
the Armed Forces for their service | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
to the country. All of those present
today will be working over the | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
festive period. Working Christmas
Day, not amazing, but being with the | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
lads, everyone brings spirits up. I
chose to work Christmas so I could | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
have new years. Tactical. What do
you love most about being part of | 0:07:35 | 0:07:41 | |
this regiment? It is unique. Nice to
be part of it. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:48 | |
Now, let's check on
the weather with Kate. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
Good afternoon. We saw this morning,
dense freezing fog, but it was not | 0:07:53 | 0:08:01 | |
widespread, lots of people saw blue
skies first thing. We have held onto | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
sunny spells, the best day to enjoy
the sunshine, later, it will turning | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
cloudy. Coming in from the north,
still feeling quite chilly at least | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
for now. The cloud creeping in this
afternoon, first the north-west, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
then covering all parts, for this
evening. Sunshine this afternoon in | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
south-west London. Not especially
warm. Temperatures struggling. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:30 | |
Overnight, the crowd spills down,
they for the odd spot of rain, but | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
most places dry. Prepare for missed
and murk. The temperature could rise | 0:08:34 | 0:08:41 | |
a little for some places as we head
through to dawn. Frost free as the | 0:08:41 | 0:08:48 | |
temperature is above Sarah. I'll do
start to tomorrow morning. -- above | 0:08:48 | 0:08:54 | |
zero. Mist and murk will lift into
low cloud, staying grey and gloomy | 0:08:54 | 0:09:01 | |
tomorrow. The temperature, however,
markedly different, 11, back up in | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
double figures. It stays mild for
the next few days. Temperatures into | 0:09:06 | 0:09:13 | |
the weekend staying in double
figures and mild at night as well. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
Not cold at all. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
That's it. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:20 | |
Victoria will be here with our next
news at 6.30pm on BBC One. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Until then, have a very
good afternoon. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 |
