That's all from the BBC News at One
so it's goodbye from me - | 0:00:00 | 0:00:15 | |
Welcome to BBC London News.
I'm Charlotte Franks. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Parents at a west London primary
school have said they're | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
devastated after being
told it plans to close. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Minerva Academy in Paddington,
is only half full, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
and is still on a temporary site,
with no playground. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Westminster Council says it
will ensure every child can | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
move to a good school. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
Here's our Education
Reporter, Marc Ashdown. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:41 | |
Schools open, another
day of learning ahead, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
something most parents
simply take for granted, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:46 | |
but school days at Minerva Academy
in Paddington could be numbered. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Only half full, and based on this
woefully inadequate temporary site, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
the head has told parents she plans
to shut in the summer. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
It's so stressful, especially
for the children, my son has been | 0:00:55 | 0:01:01 | |
two days he's not eating properly,
he is not sleeping good, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
he's telling me, I hate learning. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
How are you feeling? | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Mad, sad. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
I will never forget this school,
it's because I've got friends that | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
I've known for seven
years, six years. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
Minerva only opened in 2012,
in a letter to parents, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
the head says falling pupil numbers
across Westminster has hit funding, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
she says the current
site has not helped, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
there is no playground,
promises of a brand-new building | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
seem to have evaporated. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
It was supposed to be
here in Paddington basin, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:38 | |
apparently, but apparently
now there is nothing, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:44 | |
we were supposed to move how
many years ago. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Two, three years ago. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
And everything was behind, behind,
behind, and promises. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
And now, no school. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
I wonder where is the new building,
what have they done with it. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Critics will argue this is another
example of what they have long | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
argued is a fundamental flaw
in the government's academies | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
programme, new schools
are only supposed to open | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
where there is a clear basic
need for more places | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
and in suitable buildings. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
Here, it appears, there is neither. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
It follows news that
Floreat Brentford is set to close, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
another free school which could not
find a permanent home, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
or make the money add up. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Minerva is run by a multi-Academy
trust, the Board of Trustees says | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
staff are providing a good level
of education but for a range | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
of factors, the school is no
longer financially viable. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
If it does close, the local
authority Westminster says | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
it's ready to step in to make sure
all 89 pupils can go | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
to a good school elsewhere. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
A 20-year-old man has been shot
to death in East London. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Police were called to
Forest Road in Waltham Forest | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
at around 9.30 last night
where the man was pronounced | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
dead at the scene. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
There have been no arrests. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
A woman's been found guilty of fraud
after she posed as a grief-stricken | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
survivor of the Grenfell fire
in order to obtain cash, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
donations and hotel accommodation
intended for real victims. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
The jury at Southwark Crown Court
heard that 47-year-old | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Joyce Msokeri was living miles away
in Sutton at the time. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
She's due to be
sentenced next month. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
Motorcycle deaths on the capital's
roads are still too high according | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
to the London Assembly's Transport
Committee. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Over a quarter of people
killed or seriously | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
injured on our roads
ride a motorbike. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
There are calls for
motorcyclists to be able | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
to ride in all bus lanes | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
and for TfL to develop advanced
motorcycle safety training. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Transport for London
says its carried out a series | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
of measure to reduce the number
of serious collisions but recognises | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
more needs to be done. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:35 | |
Well, today is News Day
for the BBC's annual School Report. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
BBC London has been
working with a 6th Form | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
student from Romford. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
She wanted to explore if better
education in schools around knife | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
crime, could help to reduce
the number of young | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
people getting involved. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
Eighteen-year-old Abbianca
has this report. | 0:03:50 | 0:04:00 | |
Hello, I want to explore the reason
which the education system can help | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
reduce life crime -- knife crime in
2016, I lost a dear friend of mine, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:13 | |
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
I went to
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:16 | |
I went to Scotland
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:16 | |
I went to Scotland Yard
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
I went to Scotland Yard to
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:17 | |
I went to Scotland Yard to speak
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:17 | |
I went to Scotland Yard to speak to
was a victim of knife crime. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
I went to Scotland Yard to speak to
a senior police detective, who deals | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
with knife crime on a daily basis. I
asked him if he thought school | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
should have compulsory lessons on
this issue. What do you think about | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
this, do you think this can make a
difference? I think it would make a | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
difference, we need to change the
messaging, we have been saying for | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
some time that police on their own
are not going to rest and we need to | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
ask the right questions and get
answers. We need to get into | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
communities and young people. Here I
am, back at my school, where I will | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
be interviewing the head of sick
form and some students on the issue | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
of tackling knife crime. Some people
may carry knives for protection, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
especially because there is other
teenagers carrying knives anyway. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
When community centres are shut down
and the youth clubs held in them get | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
people getting bored, and therefore,
joining gangs, because they don't | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
have the group where they could have
gone to. If I'm being honest, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
schools don't really teach about
knife crime is that much, my first | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
talk was in year 12, I was 16 when I
had my first talk about knife crime. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:25 | |
Do you think these lessons will make
a difference and have an impact on | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
the younger generation? I am not
convinced. I think people who are | 0:05:29 | 0:05:35 | |
attracted to gangs, and attracted to
carrying knives, they have kind of | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
fallen out of the education system.
There isn't one solution to tackling | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
knife crime, but from my interviews,
it seems changes in the education | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
system could possibly contribute to
reduce knife crime. Abbianca, BBC | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
School report. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
It's being hailed as
AirBnB for your car. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:09 | |
Car and Away is a new parking scheme
that's the first of it's | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
kind in the country. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:13 | |
Found at Gatwick Airport, customers
don't pay to leave their car there, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
instead it's cleaned and rented out
to a stranger. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Helen Drew reports. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
How does this sound for a business
idea, park at Gatwick, fly away on | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
holiday and your car is rented out
while you are gone, the money earned | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
covers the cost of the parking and
maybe even earns you a profit. I | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
don't like it. Why not? I don't want
anyone else in my car. Not too keen, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
you own property is your own
property. I wouldn't want my car | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
rented out while I was not there.
The scheme is called Car and Away | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
and Nikki is one of the first people
to try it, she has flown in from Los | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Angeles to collect her Fiat, which
has been rented out for the last | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
week. I think, if I've got earning
potential, rather than leaving it | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
there sitting for a week, for the
sake of a few extra miles on the | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
clock, it makes sense. This
businessman is one of the first to | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
rent a car. Were you apprehensive
about trying a new idea? I was, I | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
was suspicious. At my age, you get
suspicious about lots of things. Car | 0:07:03 | 0:07:10 | |
and Away insures the cars and
provides roadside assistance, they | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
ask owners to carry out a future ex
in terms of safety. We ask them to | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
sign they have done the checks, not
mechanical, they are simple motoring | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
checks. A word of caution: a car is
an expensive thing. -- 80 few | 0:07:25 | 0:07:31 | |
checks. The potential for it to get
damaged, you are putting this into | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
the hands of strangers. If this
takes off, Car and Away hopes to | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
expand to other airports later this
year. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
Lets get a check on the weather
forecast. Rather soggy start of the | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
day, band of rain pushing
north-east, and behind that band of | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
rain, for the rest of the day, sunny
spells, and showers. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
Rumble of thunder, some | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
could be heavy in nature but a lot
of dry weather around, as you can | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
see, plenty of sunshine as well, and
sunshine will not feel too | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
unpleasant. Highs between 11 and 13
Celsius. Heading through the | 0:08:07 | 0:08:13 | |
evening, and the overnight period,
clear skies, showers rumbling on for | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
a time through the evening
rush-hour. Cloud thickening, maybe | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
showery outbreaks pushing in. As we
head into the start of the day | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
tomorrow. Not too chilly overnight,
lows between six and 8 degrees. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
Tomorrow, any early rain will clear
away quickly and looking at another | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
day of sunny spells and showers,
wasabi the odd heavy shower at | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
times. Most will be quite light, a
lot of dry weather, sunshine too. 11 | 0:08:36 | 0:08:46 | |
to 14 degrees. Big drop in to bridge
over the course of the weekend, all | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
that cold air coming in. Chilly is
Saili wind, and we are likely to see | 0:08:49 | 0:08:58 | |
some snow as well. -- chilly
easterly wind. Met Office warnings | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
for snow and ice and snow on Sunday,
likely to see a few centimetres, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
just about anywhere. Keep an eye on
the warnings, all the details on the | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
website. Short lived called snap,
temperatures back up on Monday. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
That's about it from me. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Asad Ahmad will be here
with our 6:30 evening programme. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
But for now, from us all,
a very good afternoon. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 |
