There have been calls for calm after three people were injured | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
when a car mounted a pavement outside a pub in Islington. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
but police say the case is not terror related. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Police seal off a stretch of the Essex Road late last night. | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
It was just minutes after this card mounted the pavement, | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Two men and a woman were taken to hospital - none are thought | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
At the beginning, I guess the four or five minutes, | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
I was not sure what's happening, because the car was broken, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
When you were seeing this and you were seeing | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
lots of police around your house, how did it make you feel? | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
I start to be worried and shaking to be honest, | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
I was shaking in the window and a little bit hiding behind my | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
curtain, because I was absolutely not sure what's happening. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
The only traces of what happened last night are these yellow markings | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
on the road that show where the car travelled off the road, | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
where many people would have been sat having a drink. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
It then travelled back onto the road, | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
where it was left right in the middle, abandoned. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
The people in the car ran from the scene, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
where two knives were found - one inside the vehicle | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Police say the crash is not terror related, | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
but following the attack in Westminster this week, | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
many questioned whether this had a similar motive. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
I can quite understand why people have jumped to conclusions, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
but this wasn't a terrorist incident, this looks like crime. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
My thoughts go to those were terrified last night and those | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
It's still not clear why the car veered onto the pavement last night. | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
Police say an investigation is ongoing to find out | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Frankie McCamley, BBC London News, in Islington. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Latin American businesses and workers, which make | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
up their largest community in London, say they could be forced | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
to go their separate ways, because of the proposed | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
redevelopment of the Elephant and Castle shopping centre. | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
Dozens of Latin American traders have worked there for decades, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
but now the future looks uncertain, as Thomas Magill reports. | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
It's been almost half of my life in here... | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
It's the busiest day of the week for Luz. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
She's been cutting hair at the Elephant and Castle shopping | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
centre for the last 25 years, but now she fears her livelihood | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
It's like a family now, the community what we have, | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Latin American together, this is the place I start, | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
and the place all my friends, my clients I make all these years. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
And she's not alone - there's over 100 other | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
What made you guys come here all those years ago? | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Well, it was a very cheap place to invest... | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
But that could change if new plans to redevelop | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the space get the go-ahead, something that has left many angry. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
One of the things that the planning application does not cover is, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
by policy, there should be 10% of retail space | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
in big developments that should come as affordable units. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
That is not included in the planning application. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Well, love it or hate it, there's no doubt | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
the Elephant and Castle shopping centre is a local landmark, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
but look around, there's unprecedented change happening. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
There's tower blocks popping up all over the place, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
and now the owners of this key site want to do the same. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
They want to build this, 1000 new homes, a cultural centre, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
a new university campus and retail units. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
But critics say the new shops won't be affordable | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
or accessible to the smaller existing retailers. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
In a statement, the owners said that retaining local and specialist | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
retailers is key to our ambition to support the diverse vibrancy | :04:15. | :04:29. | |
of the area, and we will continue to help | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
The shopping centre has had many makeovers, extensions | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
and even a change of colour, but now, after 52 years, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
its owners feel the time has come for a complete restyle. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Football now, and an international friendly to be played tomorrow | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
in London between Nigeria and Burkina Faso has been called off. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
The match was due to be played at Barnet FC's Hive Stadium, | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
but seven Burkino Faso players couldn't get visas to come. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
The game was in preparation for the African Nations Cup | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
After a very nice weekend weatherwise, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Hello, the first day of British Summer Time, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Plenty of sunshine, highs of 15 Celsius in the centre of London, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
and it's a fine evening and night to come, mainly clear skies. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Late in the night, we could just see a little bit more | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
cloud creeping across, but temperatures shouldn't fall much | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Nonetheless, a chilly start to the new working week, | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
but a bright one, some low cloud around initially will quickly go, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
and then we have another fine and mainly sunny day, | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
perhaps just a little bit more cloud coming and going | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
But still highs 16, maybe even 17 Celsius, | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
so it should feel a little bit warmer. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
more of the same on Tuesday and Wednesday, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
but otherwise no rain in the forecast. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Our next news this evening is at 10:20 on BBC One. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
For the first time this year, the temperature reached 20 Celsius, the | :05:54. | :06:14. | |
highest recorded in Highland Scotland, lovely picture from | :06:15. | :06:15. | |
