That's all from the BBC News at One.

0:00:000:00:15

Welcome to BBC London News.

0:00:150:00:17

I'm Alpa Patel.

0:00:170:00:20

The Deputy Chief Constable

of Essex Police has been found

0:00:200:00:22

guilty of misconduct and bullying.

0:00:220:00:23

A five-day hearing was told

Matthew Horne threw a stress

0:00:230:00:26

ball at a colleague

and was verbally abusive.

0:00:260:00:31

Our reporter Ayshea

Buksh is with me now.

0:00:310:00:32

Ayshea, what happened

at the tribunal?

0:00:320:00:39

Well, this is news just in from

Chelmsford Civic Centre. Mr Horne

0:00:390:00:44

worked on police operations

including the Leveson Inquiry and

0:00:440:00:47

the royal wedding between Prince

William and the Duchess of Cambridge

0:00:470:00:50

but this refers to his time at Essex

police when he was deputy chief of.

0:00:500:00:55

There were three allegations

levelled against him, one of them

0:00:550:00:59

refers to an incident back in June

2015 when he visited the control

0:00:590:01:04

room at Essex police and was

apparently disappointed and

0:01:040:01:08

frustrated at the work that was

being done, he is said to have

0:01:080:01:13

walked out, sworn at a colleague who

was in charge of the control room,

0:01:130:01:15

and another time he was found to

have pushed and thrown a stress ball

0:01:150:01:20

at a different colleague, one-time

causing the opposite of fall

0:01:200:01:24

backwards onto a desk, and the

stress ball but he referred to that

0:01:240:01:30

he threw left a red mark on that

colleague. His behaviour was found

0:01:300:01:35

to have breached the standards of

professional behaviour in the areas

0:01:350:01:38

of authority, respect and courtesy.

Mr Horne did say during the hearing

0:01:380:01:43

that he regarded some of those

conversations as not significant and

0:01:430:01:46

he was more focused on what's needed

to be done to help the public rather

0:01:460:01:50

than the way he was behaving towards

the other members of staff. Essex

0:01:500:01:55

police gave the statement and they

said, we note the findings of the

0:01:550:01:58

panel and a further hearing will be

held in public in due course in

0:01:580:02:03

order that the appropriate authority

can decide on what sanction will be

0:02:030:02:07

applied.

Thank you very much for the update.

0:02:070:02:11

A teenager has denied responsibility

for the Parsons Green terror attack

0:02:110:02:14

which injured 30 people.

0:02:140:02:15

Ahmed Hassan is accused

of building a homemade bomb

0:02:150:02:17

which partially exploded on a train

at Parsons Green Tube

0:02:170:02:19

station back in September.

0:02:200:02:24

Hassan pleaded not guilty

to attempted murder

0:02:240:02:26

and causing an explosion.

0:02:260:02:31

Residents of flats in the shadow

of Grenfell Tower say it's not fair

0:02:310:02:34

Kensington and Chelsea Council plan

to make them start paying rent and

0:02:340:02:37

service charges again from Sunday.

0:02:380:02:40

People living in the Walkway blocks

on the Lancaster West estate say

0:02:400:02:43

there are still exposed gas pipes

and other problems.

0:02:430:02:47

The Council says they will

look at the issues.

0:02:470:02:53

A family's bid for a fresh inquest

into the death of their son,

0:02:530:02:56

whose body was found

at Michael Barrymore's home

0:02:560:02:58

in Essex, has been denied.

0:02:580:03:03

Stuart Lubbock's body was discovered

in the entertainer's

0:03:030:03:05

swimming pool in 2001.

0:03:050:03:06

Mr Barrymore was arrested,

but police later admitted his

0:03:060:03:08

detention was unlawful

and damages were paid.

0:03:080:03:12

Mr Lubbock's father believed

new evidence could have overturned

0:03:120:03:14

the original open verdict.

0:03:140:03:21

13 more Tube stations are to be

made more accessible

0:03:210:03:23

for people with disabilities.

0:03:230:03:25

Among them, Wimbledon, North Ealing

and Northolt will be improved.

0:03:250:03:28

It's all part of a drive to make 40%

of the network step free by 2022.

0:03:280:03:37

Eight years ago, gymnast

Reiss Beckford was one of the stars

0:03:370:03:41

of the England Commonwealth Games

team.

0:03:410:03:43

He won three silver medals.

0:03:430:03:47

Well, fast-forward to 2018

and the athlete from Essex is hoping

0:03:470:03:50

to make history by going to this

year's Commonwealth Games

0:03:500:03:57

but this time representing Jamaica.

0:03:570:03:58

Jonathan Park has the story.

0:03:580:03:59

What time do you start work today?

0:03:590:04:01

11, preschool.

0:04:010:04:11

In this household they're

ticking off the breakfasts

0:04:110:04:13

until the Commonwealth games.

0:04:130:04:14

Reiss is blazing a trail

for Jamaica and his loved ones

0:04:140:04:17

will watch his every move.

0:04:170:04:18

Hopefully my girlfriend

Olivia and mum and dad

0:04:180:04:20

are going to come out to watch.

0:04:200:04:24

Welcome to Reiss Beckford's second

home, this athletics

0:04:240:04:26

club in Basildon.

0:04:260:04:27

First up, a morning run,

a challenge for Reiss and co.

0:04:270:04:30

He was just seven when he joined

the club, going on to

0:04:300:04:33

compete internationally

for Great Britain and England.

0:04:330:04:34

But now he's Jamaican gymnast who's

going the extra mile.

0:04:340:04:37

On a fast day, we do it

in about seven minutes,

0:04:370:04:39

lads, would you say?

0:04:390:04:40

About seven minutes on a fast day.

0:04:400:04:42

Around seven, eight minutes

is our average but, yeah,

0:04:420:04:45

we've found that this really does

help us and it's our little secret

0:04:450:04:48

that we do that most

other gyms don't do.

0:04:480:04:53

OK, guys, right, so, as we know,

tomorrow means routines

0:04:530:04:56

for everybody, all right?

0:04:560:04:57

Although not officially announced

yet, you're looking at Jamaica's

0:04:570:04:59

gymnastics team for the Commonwealth

Games.

0:04:590:05:04

Just Reiss, who will

become the first male

0:05:040:05:10

to compete for the country

at the so-called friendly games.

0:05:100:05:12

How many times have

you done that routine?

0:05:120:05:15

Quite a few times, we practice,

like I say, everything in big

0:05:150:05:20

repetitions so that when it comes

to the big day you're confident

0:05:200:05:24

in what you're doing.

0:05:240:05:28

And Reiss has always

had bags of ability.

0:05:280:05:30

Here he is eight years ago in Delhi

representing England

0:05:300:05:32

at the Commonwealth Games.

0:05:320:05:33

He returned home with

three silver medals.

0:05:330:05:35

But this time he's doing

it all by himself,

0:05:350:05:37

without any Lottery funding.

0:05:370:05:38

It shows how serious

he is and how committed he is.

0:05:380:05:42

The club are helping him,

we've given him a role in the club,

0:05:420:05:47

he's actually coaching the women,

so he's developing as a young

0:05:470:05:50

coach while representing

Jamaica as a gymnast.

0:05:500:06:00

It's doubtful there'll be

a harder-working athlete

0:06:000:06:01

in Jamaica's team come

the Commonwealth Games in April.

0:06:010:06:03

Good luck to him.

0:06:040:06:05

Now, in the largest study

of it's kind, children

0:06:050:06:07

across the UK have been asked

what they would like to

0:06:070:06:10

do when they grow up.

0:06:100:06:11

These are just some of their work.

0:06:110:06:13

Tim Muffett has been

to one school in Wembley

0:06:130:06:15

to speak to children there.

0:06:150:06:16

Drawing their future.

0:06:160:06:17

These pupils at Barham Primary

School in Wembley were amongst

0:06:170:06:20

13,000 in the UK who took part

in a remarkable survey.

0:06:200:06:22

We wanted kids to draw

their future aspirations.

0:06:220:06:27

Who they want to become.

0:06:270:06:28

We wanted to understand what's

going on in their heads,

0:06:280:06:31

their ideas about the future.

0:06:310:06:38

A Royal Navy police officer.

A

teacher.

Why?

Because I like books.

0:06:380:06:48

Across the UK, the most popular

dream job amongst 7-11-year-olds

0:06:480:06:51

was a sports man or woman.

0:06:510:06:52

More than a fifth of children drew

them, followed by teacher,

0:06:520:06:55

then a vet, then a job in social

media or gaming.

0:06:550:06:58

I want to be a game designer

because it seems like fun and I play

0:06:580:07:01

a lot of games and I want to see

how they're made.

0:07:010:07:04

Some might say this is very

young to be thinking

0:07:040:07:06

about a future career.

0:07:060:07:07

What do you think?

0:07:070:07:08

I think they're never too young,

it's never too early.

0:07:080:07:11

Primary school is the right

time for children to be

0:07:110:07:13

forming good habits.

0:07:130:07:14

They need a game plan.

0:07:140:07:17

They need to be able to select the

right subject.

0:07:170:07:23

Rhianne's picture really

stands out to me, simply

0:07:230:07:25

because if there were 100

professions that you would say

0:07:250:07:28

that Rhianne would pick,

you would never think

0:07:280:07:30

she would select being in the navy.

0:07:300:07:36

There are going to do jobs that we

haven't even thought about, not even

0:07:360:07:40

in our knowledge now. I want them to

have the skills, knowledge, the

0:07:400:07:44

can-do attitude so they will be able

to apply themselves to the new

0:07:440:07:47

professions that will be coming

through.

0:07:470:07:49

Good advice there.

0:07:490:07:51

Let's take a look at the weather -

here's Georgina Burnett.

0:07:510:07:55

If you have been entering sunshine

today, it will be their best on

0:07:580:08:00

offer for the next few days, a lot

of the blue stuff turning up in our

0:08:000:08:05

Weather Watcher pictures, this was

taken by Carrie in Wembley, thank

0:08:050:08:08

you for that, and to all our Weather

Watchers for your pictures from

0:08:080:08:11

today, keep them coming in. There

will be sunny spells this afternoon,

0:08:110:08:16

a bit of stopping cloud around,

though, one or two showers but many

0:08:160:08:20

others having a dry end of the day,

a bit on the breezy side, westerly

0:08:200:08:24

wind and chilly with highs of five

or six Celsius at best. Those

0:08:240:08:28

showers fizzle out through this

evening, and largely dry and clear

0:08:280:08:42

period but cloud quickly builds

ahead of the frontal system bringing

0:08:460:08:49

in some rain in the West,

temperatures down to one or two

0:08:490:08:51

degrees Celsius. That is how we

start the weekend, the rain

0:08:510:08:53

gradually clearing as we had through

the morning so there should be a

0:08:530:08:55

drier end to the day but whether we

will see brightness remains to be

0:08:550:08:58

seen, I think the cloud will stay

put for many. Temperatures get into

0:08:580:09:01

about four Celsius is still pretty

chilly. There is change on the way,

0:09:010:09:03

wet and windy weather on Sunday,

bringing with it some milder air, so

0:09:030:09:06

we are seeing single figures for a

couple of days but although the

0:09:060:09:09

weather is staying quite unsettled

for the start of the week, we start

0:09:090:09:11

to see some double figures as well.

So, wet and windy weather for a good

0:09:110:09:16

few days but by the end of the week

the high pressure is starting to

0:09:160:09:20

build and that is one thing should

start to settle down.

0:09:200:09:22

That's about it from me.

0:09:220:09:24

But for now, from us all,

a very good afternoon.
