0:00:00 > 0:00:13That's all from the BBC News at One - so it's goodbye from me -
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Welcome to BBC London News. I'm Charlotte Franks.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Ten years after the murder of a Norwegian student in central
0:00:20 > 0:00:23London, detectives are urging the man wanted for her death
0:00:23 > 0:00:25to return to the UK.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Martine Vik Magnussen, who was 23, was attacked after a night out
0:00:29 > 0:00:35with friends in 2008.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37The only suspect in the case, Farouk Abdulhak, fled
0:00:37 > 0:00:39to the Yemen within hours of Martine's disappearance.
0:00:39 > 0:00:48Carrie Davis reports.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Laughing and smiling, recording a message for her friend. This is
0:00:51 > 0:00:57Martine Vik Magnussen, a Norwegian business student. She was studying
0:00:57 > 0:01:00in London when she was murdered ten years ago. She had been partying at
0:01:00 > 0:01:08a nightclub. She left with a classmate, Farouk Abdulhak. This
0:01:08 > 0:01:11CCTV footage shows them leaving together. Her body was discovered
0:01:11 > 0:01:16the day after in the basement of a block of flats. She had been raped
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and strangled. Her body had been partially bubbled -- covered by
0:01:20 > 0:01:24rubble. Mr Rabbo had left the country the same day. He is believed
0:01:24 > 0:01:30to be in Yemen. Although he protests his innocence, he has refused to
0:01:30 > 0:01:34return to the UK. Today Mairtin O'Muilleoir's father spoke directly
0:01:34 > 0:01:42to him.Once my family -- once my family has continued to suffer the
0:01:42 > 0:01:46greatest loss in family can suffer, I want you to know that we continue
0:01:46 > 0:01:52to pursue justice for Mairtin O'Muilleoir. We want you to know
0:01:52 > 0:01:57that this case will never go away until justice has prevailed.
0:01:57 > 0:02:07Police have urged Farouk Abdulhak to come forward. Ten years on, the
0:02:07 > 0:02:09family of Martine Vik Magnussen continue to fight for justice.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11A vet with two practices in West London has been accused
0:02:11 > 0:02:15of helping a gang sell thousands of illegally bred
0:02:15 > 0:02:17sick and dying puppies, to buyers who thought the animals
0:02:17 > 0:02:18were home-reared and healthy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Vet Daniel Doherty denies conspiring with the gang by providing
0:02:21 > 0:02:24vaccination certificates, even though he knew
0:02:24 > 0:02:25buyers were being duped.
0:02:25 > 0:02:34Yvonne Hall reports from Isleworth Crown Court.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39The RSPCA has brought the case against Daniel Doherty at Isleworth
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Crown Court. Barrister Hazel Stevens said this morning the background to
0:02:42 > 0:02:47the case involved a gang of eight men and women importing puppies into
0:02:47 > 0:02:51the UK, which had been illegally bred mainly in Ireland and Eastern
0:02:51 > 0:02:57Europe, and were often very sick. The puppies were then advertised on
0:02:57 > 0:03:01sites like commentary, pretending to the public the animals were healthy
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and had been homebred in the UK. These puppies were often so sick
0:03:04 > 0:03:09they died soon afterwards, and complains to the RSPCA began to
0:03:09 > 0:03:15mount. That Daniel Doherty, who runs practices in Oxbridge and --
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Oxbridge and Hillingdon, is accused of helping the gang deceive the
0:03:20 > 0:03:23public by providing vaccination certificates for more than 4000
0:03:23 > 0:03:26puppies. It is said he was paid nearly £80,000. He denies conspiracy
0:03:26 > 0:03:31to commit fraud. The trial is expected to last three weeks.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yvonne Hall reporting there.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35A 14-year-old boy's in hospital, after he was shot
0:03:35 > 0:03:37near Seven Sisters station.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39No-one's been arrested following the incident just
0:03:39 > 0:03:40after 11 o'clock last night.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Scotland Yard says the boy's in a stable condition.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49A group of squatters who've taken over a building
0:03:49 > 0:03:51in Xentral London are preparing to go to court later,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55to fight a possession order from the landlord in a bid to stay.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57The group, who have named the office block
0:03:57 > 0:04:00the Sofia Solidarity Centre, claim the building has been empty
0:04:00 > 0:04:03for several years, and they're meeting a social need.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05The Government says it's investing £1 billion
0:04:06 > 0:04:10to tackle rough sleeping.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Counter-terror police are leading an investigation
0:04:11 > 0:04:16into the "unexplained" death of a Russian man in Kingston.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18He is believed to be businessman Nikolai Glushkov,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20who claimed political asylum in the UK after being
0:04:20 > 0:04:21convicted of fraud.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The Metropolitan Police said its specialist unit was looking
0:04:24 > 0:04:29at his cause of death "as a precaution".
0:04:29 > 0:04:33A new research unit exploring why some babies are born
0:04:33 > 0:04:35prematurely, is being set up at Imperial College London.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39The scientists will be in partnership with three
0:04:39 > 0:04:41London hospitals - Chelsea and Westminster,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44St Mary's and Queen Charlotte - where 5000 babies are born
0:04:44 > 0:04:54prematurely every year. Sarah Harris reports.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Sincerely appreciate every second she can spend with her six-year-old
0:05:01 > 0:05:05daughter. Before she was born, she had gone through 16 miscarriages,
0:05:05 > 0:05:10including a 20 week pregnancy. So when her precious daughter came at
0:05:10 > 0:05:1524 weeks, she feared she would die as well.Yes, that was my first
0:05:15 > 0:05:20thought. It was a difficult situation. I keep praying to God.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25When the baby came out at 24 weeks, there was torment in my head. I was
0:05:25 > 0:05:30thinking, oh my God, is the baby going to make it? It was really a
0:05:30 > 0:05:35tough time for me.Thousands of babies are born nearly every year
0:05:35 > 0:05:39across the capital. Many experienced health problems and learning
0:05:39 > 0:05:42difficulties. But now scientists have secured funding to help find
0:05:42 > 0:05:50out why and do something about it.I would say there are two reasons. One
0:05:50 > 0:05:56is the leading expertise we have in London. Secondly, there may be an
0:05:56 > 0:06:00interplay between where a person comes from, genetic factors, the
0:06:00 > 0:06:05microbes that live in her body. London is a perfect place to study
0:06:05 > 0:06:11that.The work we are going to do has come from finding is that there
0:06:11 > 0:06:14is a link between the bacteria that live in the reproductive tract, and
0:06:14 > 0:06:20a risk of preterm birth. Not everybody who has these normal --
0:06:20 > 0:06:24abnormal bacteria goes into preterm labour. The question is, why do some
0:06:24 > 0:06:33people respond and others do not? Piniella is thriving and happy
0:06:33 > 0:06:38despite her early start. Researchers want to make sure that becomes the
0:06:38 > 0:06:42expected outcome for the majority of premature babies across the capital.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45The South Bank's famous Under Croft skate park
0:06:45 > 0:06:49is to be extended, after being awarded hundreds of thousands
0:06:49 > 0:06:50of pounds from City Hall.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Money will also be spent on a new creative space
0:06:54 > 0:06:56in the Southbank Centre, which owns the area where skaters
0:06:57 > 0:06:58have gathered for decades.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01But the cash will only be released - if campaigners
0:07:01 > 0:07:09can match the £700,000 offered by the mayor.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13South bank is one of the most iconic spots in London. It is definitely
0:07:13 > 0:07:17one of the most iconic skateboarding spot in the world. It is one of the
0:07:17 > 0:07:23oldest and most used in the world. Built in 1967, and first used by
0:07:23 > 0:07:29skaters in 1973. We have been offered a match funding grant of
0:07:29 > 0:07:33£700,000, which means we have to raise £700,000 to be given the
0:07:33 > 0:07:38ground. It is a real incentive to get on board with the project, but
0:07:38 > 0:07:41it does mean we have a lot more to do.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now the weather with Kate Kinsella.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Now the weather with Kate Kinsella.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Good afternoon. It has been feeling more like spring today. Quite a
0:07:51 > 0:07:54chilly start this morning. A beautiful Sunrise down on the River
0:07:54 > 0:08:01Thames. A sunny day in all. Quite hazy sunshine. I tired restricting
0:08:01 > 0:08:06sunshine. A lovely afternoon. A brisk south-easterly wind is
0:08:06 > 0:08:13developing. A perfect afternoon forgetting the washing on the line.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Temperatures remain unaffected. 15 Celsius. Overnight, clear at first
0:08:18 > 0:08:21before cloud bruising from the south-west. Heavy and persistent
0:08:21 > 0:08:27rain. Wet and windy by dawn tomorrow morning. Temperatures overnight
0:08:27 > 0:08:32between six and eight Celsius. A wet start to Thursday. The rain moving
0:08:32 > 0:08:37north during the day. Showers in the afternoon. A bit brighter later.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Temperatures not too bad for Thursday at 13 Celsius. The next
0:08:42 > 0:08:46couple of days remain reasonably mild. As we head towards Friday, we
0:08:46 > 0:08:51start to lose this milder air. But gradually that this appears to be
0:08:51 > 0:08:57replaced by colder air coming in on quite a strong easterly wind. You
0:08:57 > 0:09:01will notice perhaps some snow showers are affecting some of us,
0:09:01 > 0:09:05particularly towards the south of London, maybe towards the North as
0:09:05 > 0:09:09well. Not too many around but a dramatic change in temperature as we
0:09:09 > 0:09:13head into Saturday and Sunday. Two Celsius by the time we get to
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Sunday. The wind will make feel colder.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16That's about it from me.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Asad Ahmad. will be here with our
0:09:18 > 0:09:196:30 evening programme.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24But for now, from us all, a very good afternoon.
