Good evening and welcome to BBC London news. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
A man at the centre of a st`nd-off with armed police in Northolt | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
is feared to have stockpiled petrol other combustible materials. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
About 80 residents were forced to spend a second night awax | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
from their homes while officers negotiate with the man. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The Met, who are concerned about his mental health, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Our correspondent Emilia Papadopoulos | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
The stand-off between armed officers and the man inside the propdrty has | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
gone on for 65 hours, and is still ongoing. Elise were first c`lled in | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
the early hours of Friday morning to report of a man possessing | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
potentially hazardous materhals they believe there could be | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
quantities of petrol and quantities of petrol and | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
combustibles, which is why they have cordoned off this area, the called | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
and if 300 metres long. Up to 8 residents were forced to spdnd | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
yesterday in temporary accolmodation will start tonight it is uncertain | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
whether they will be able to return home. The police have been giving | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
out these leaflets to local residents, which say they are | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
working closely with the fire brigade and the ambulance to make | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
sure the situation is resolved quickly and safely. They want to | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
assure people it is not a tdrrorist related incident, and they `re doing | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
all they can to make sure it is over all they can to make sure it is over | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
soon. I spoke to the leader of Ealing Council earlier, he said he | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
was working closely with thd police to ensure that residents cotld get | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
back to their homes as quickly as possible. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
They are a little bit restricted by the disruption. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
They have got lives to get on with and jobs to go to, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
and they want to be able to return to their homes, | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
but equally they recognise that everybody has got to be kept safe, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
we want a safe outcome and nobody to be hurt. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
I think they are bearing it with patience and forbearance. | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
Earlier, we know that the m`n's son arrived with police to assist the | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
negotiations, but so far thdre have been no attempt to enter thd | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
property. Police said they `re concerned for his mental he`lth | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
which is why they are taking things very slowly. Local residents have | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
said he is well-known around here, he is often seen walking fotr | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Rottweilers. They are believed to be inside the property with hil, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
possibly another reason why the police have not yet attemptdd to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
enter the property. This opdration is still ongoing, the policd say it | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
will go on as long as necessary they are doing all they can to make | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
sure it ends safely. In a bid to tackle rogue landlords, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
the Liberal Democrats are c`lling for a London-wide licensing system | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
for all people who A few authorities already do this, | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
such as Newham, although it's yet to be decided if its | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
scheme will continue. A surprise inspection by officers | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
from Newham Council. Every landlord needs | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
a licence to operate. There is quite a serious gas leak | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
in this property, we think We have a room here with evdrybody | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
smoking, no fire detection, and a very tight kitchen | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
with a cooker that is blockhng Newham is the toughest council | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
in London, with 286 prosecutions against landlords in the last year | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
there are figures for. That accounts for 70% | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
of the total in the capital, which contrasts with 16 boroughs | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
that each prosecuted A further eight did not prosecute | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
anyone. I want a blanket scheme across | :03:52. | :04:05. | |
London. Landlords can offset the costs | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
against their tax returns, It enables local authorities | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
to have the officers in place who can take action | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
where it is needed. Mandatory licensing is not ` good | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
idea, says the organisation In Newham, out of the 22,000 | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
licensed landlords, only 4% I would hope that the local | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
authority could use their existing resources to find that | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
relatively small number The Government has not yet `greed | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
to extend the scheme. It is my job to look at the evidence | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
and then I will take a decision What I want your viewers to be clear | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
about is the Government is determined to crack | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
down on rogue landlords. It looks that the choice | :04:50. | :04:50. | |
will be left to individual The Transport Secretary Chrhs | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Grayling has confirmed the Government will make a decision | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
on Tuesday about whether to expand He insisted ministers had still not | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
made up their minds and said he expected "challenge | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
and opposition" whatever Let's have a look at the we`ther | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
now with Sara Thornton. We had quite a bit of sunshhne | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
across London today, but it felt autumnal, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
with a north-easterly wind. This week we have quite a bht | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
of cloud around, especially It is generally dry, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
but it will be milder, Cloud tomorrow morning | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
from the south, a bit of drhzzle potentially as we run | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
through the day, especially It starts to feel a bit milder | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
for the middle part of the week Hello. More details coming up in | :05:40. | :06:11. | |
Countryfile, but there are changes over the week ahead. A quiet start, | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
old, patchy frost and sunshine. From midweek onwards, the temperatures | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
rise a little, because we get a westerly wind. For the moment, we | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
still have an easterly, more cloud coming in as well. Not | :06:30. | :06:31. |
