On BBC One we now join the BBC's
news teams where you are. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
Welcome to BBC London News. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
I'm Sara Orchard. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
It comes around every year -
the rise in the cost | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
of your train ticket. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
But many Londoners will have escaped
that as bus and tube fares have been | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
frozen by the mayor. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
But critics say the cost of the fare
freeze is too much and it's stopping | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
badly needed investment. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Here's our transport
correspondent, Tom Edwards. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:37 | |
The first day back from many vendor
fare rise for some commuters but not | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
others. -- but they fare rise.
Season-ticket fares have gone by | 0:00:41 | 0:00:49 | |
3.4%. They seemed to be used to the
financial pain. Not too bothered, to | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
be honest. You have | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
financial pain. Not too bothered, to
be honest. You have to pay it. We | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
feel the pain now, but obviously,
there are improvements being made. I | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
have not seen any improvements. At
London Bridge, Network Rail has been | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
showing off what that extra money is
paying for. On the buses, and other | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
TFL services, fares are frozen, paid
for with job cuts at TFL and | 0:01:15 | 0:01:21 | |
efficiencies, and the scrapping of
extra trains on the northern and | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Jubilee was meant to increase
capacity. The cost is very high. The | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
mayor has now cut investment in the
Northern line and the Jubilee line, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
there will be 27 fewer trains. Many
people travel to Canada water, I was | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
talking to someone over Christmas,
he was saying, you can hardly get on | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
the trains. You have to wait. That
will continue. London Bridge, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
Northern line and Jubilee line meet
here, try to get on the train in the | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
evening, you have to queue to get on
the platform, let alone get on the | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
train, it is a disgrace. The mayor
had promised no Londoners would pay | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
more in fares by 2020 but
travelcards and a fair cap are going | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
up and he still wants to take over
suburban rail franchises. We call on | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
the Government to match the levels
of efficiency we are providing in | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
transport for London and actually
freeze the fares National Rail and | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
do everything they can to provide
the premium service people are | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
paying for right now. Not all
passengers are the same. In stations | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
around Redhill, rail fares are also
being frozen. It is only fair. We | 0:02:29 | 0:02:35 | |
have suffered for a long time. No
fare rise is good, it should come | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
down. It is a shambles, I paid too
much for a train that never gets in | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
on time. I would get a deal 14 £29,
noticed £31. It is a bit much. Fares | 0:02:46 | 0:02:56 | |
on to pay for transport is a
political decision, all have | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
challenges and consequences -- fares
and who pay for transport. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:12 | |
Two people have been charged and six
arrested after four young men | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
were fatally stabbed in London
within 15 hours over | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
the New Year period. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,
says he will work tirelessly | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
in 2018, and beyond,
to stamp out what he called | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
the scourge of knife
crime in the city. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
Last year, 80 people died
after being stabbed here. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
The Met say they're working hard
to tackle the growing problem. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
The reality is, we saw knife
crimes starting to rise, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
we've spoken during the last year
about our focus on knife crime, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
and we've talked a lot
about the work we're doing to try | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
and tackle it. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
What this does, it gives
that work more impetus, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
and it particularly says
to the wider London | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
community, what can we all
do | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
to tackle knife crime? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
And as people return
to schools today, go back | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
into their offices to work,
it's worth thinking, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
what can they do, what can
they get involved in? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
From community knife sweeps
to mentoring schemes, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
there's lots we can all do. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Firefighters rescued a couple from
Deptford in the early hours of this | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
morning. The fire damaged the
maisonette and it is believed that | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
started on the wooden balcony after
the careless disposal of a | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
cigarette. The resident whom were
trapped inside. West Ham will host | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
West Brom at the London Stadium
tonight in the Premier League. They | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
are unbeaten in their last eight
Premier League games against West | 0:04:18 | 0:04:25 | |
Brom. Hundreds of Londoners have
reported being disturbed by | 0:04:25 | 0:04:33 | |
low-frequency noise. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
It's a phenomena known as "the hum"
and the reports are being used | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
to compile a World Hum Map. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
Public Health England says it's
aware of the claims, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
but the evidence is very limited. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Gareth Furby has more. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
Lydia loves being a mother. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
But she says her life is being
ruined by low-frequency noise. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
I started hearing it
in my flat in Teddington, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
and it was sounding like,
the lowest string of the bass | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
guitar, it was like a... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
SHE HUMS. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
She called in the local
environmental health, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
and she says they plotted the noises
she recorded on a chart | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
showing low frequencies. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
They discovered that there are very
strong peaks of the hum... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
SHE HUMS. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
It's pretty much like that. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Donna says the noise in her flat
is driving her to despair. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
She lives near Luton and says
she first heard it about a year ago. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:31 | |
If I spend too much time here,
I could literally top myself, it... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
It drills into your brain that much. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
There are many theories
about possible causes. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
Concentrated in this
corner, the noise... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Donna believes something may have
happened to cabling near her home, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
or it could be she's hearing noise
from a nearby substation. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Lydia believes it's linked to mobile
phone masts she can see | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
from her flat window. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
I wanted to investigate
the hum myself... | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
But another theory now
being considered by some researchers | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
is that some people may develop
unusual sensitivity to some types | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
of low-frequency noise. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Lydia says environmental health
told her the frequencies recorded | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
in her home were not normally heard. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:19 | |
And Richmond Council
says its officers didn't witness any | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
noises, so could do nothing. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
They cannot find the source
of the hum, so they couldn't | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
help me any further. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
But Lydia and others are now making
use of a data gathering | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
project on the internet,
called the World Hum Map, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
where people can mark the place
and time where they say they heard | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
the noise - and in the London area,
there have been hundreds of reports. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:45 | |
There are some people
who are suffering very badly. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
The actual number of people who,
under the right conditions, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
might be able to detect it
could be much higher, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
simply because of the mass of level
of noise and vibration that | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
London itself produces. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Public Health England says its noise
specialists are aware of claims | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
about low-frequency noise and health
effects, but the evidence concerning | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
their impact is very limited. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:06 | |
Gareth Furby, BBC London News. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:16 | |
A serial killer has pleaded guilty
to murdering his former girlfriend | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
in his Islington home. The
64-year-old Theodore Johnston | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
admitted killing the mother of four
and a grandmother by beating her and | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
throttling her. He will be sentenced
on Friday. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
And a mental health therapy
programme at a primary school, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
which uses a dog to help children
feel more comfortable, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
has proven so successful
that the number of mental health | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
referrals has dropped to zero. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
Max, the cockapoo, and a team
of trainee paediatric counsellors | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
work with troubled children
through play and art | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
at Highgate Primary School,
and his presence encourages them | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
to feel more comfortable. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
Now let's get the weather
with Georgina Burnett. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Hello there. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:03 | |
A bit of a damp afternoon,
but the stags in Richmond Park | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
clearly knew the rain was coming
because they were lying down | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
this morning in this
picture taken by Amy Rugby, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
one of our weather watchers. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
Thank you very much for that. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
The rain is working its way
to the east over the next few hours. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
Probably only western parts
of London who will get any | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
brightness before the sun sets. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
Temperatures up to
about ten, 11 Celsius. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Now the wind is strengthening
as we head through this evening | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
and the Met Office has a yellow
warning in place from 6pm this | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
evening until 6pm tomorrow evening,
so overnight, we could see gusts | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
of 40-45 mph. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
Some further rain
on the way as well. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
Quite heavy at times too. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
Temperatures down to
about four, five Celsius. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
And the wind not going anywhere. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Tomorrow, a windy day again
with some sunny spells, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
blustery showers and around
the showers we could see | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
gusts of up to 50 mph. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:52 | |
Temperatures tomorrow getting up
to about 10 degrees Celsius. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Temperatures tomorrow getting up
to about 10 degrees Celsius. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:55 | |
For the rest of the week,
still fairly breezy on Thursday, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
but a dry start and fairly
bright at first. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Rain on the way later on. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Then it will be getting colder
as we head towards the weekend. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Still pretty breezy. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
That's about it from me. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
Asad Ahmed will be here
with our 6.30pm evening programme. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
But for now, from the lunch team,
a very good afternoon. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 |
