You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:00:00.:00:00.

That's all from me, stay with us on BBC One,

:00:00.:00:00.

it's time for the news where you are.

:00:07.:01:41.

The people in the car ran from the scene where

:01:42.:01:43.

One inside of the vehicle, and another just next to it.

:01:44.:01:47.

Police say the crash is not terror related,

:01:48.:01:49.

but following the attack in Westminster this week,

:01:50.:01:51.

many questioned whether this had a similar motive.

:01:52.:01:53.

I quite understand why people have jumped to

:01:54.:01:55.

This was not a terror incident, it looks like crime.

:01:56.:01:58.

My thoughts go to those who were terrified last night,

:01:59.:02:02.

It is still not clear why the car veered onto the pavement last night.

:02:03.:02:07.

Police say an investigation is ongoing to find out

:02:08.:02:09.

Frankie McCamley, BBC London News in Islington.

:02:10.:02:11.

An air ambulance regularly piloted by Princess William "narrowly

:02:12.:02:14.

avoided" a mid-air crash with a drone above

:02:15.:02:16.

Investigators say the helicopter missed the drone by "chance" -

:02:17.:02:19.

and there was a "high risk" of a crash occurring.

:02:20.:02:21.

The Prince wasn't in the aircraft at the time.

:02:22.:02:23.

A large community of Latin American businesses and workers -

:02:24.:02:26.

say they could be forced to go their separate ways -

:02:27.:02:28.

because of the proposed redevelopment of Elephant

:02:29.:02:31.

Dozens of Latin American traders have worked there for decades,

:02:32.:02:34.

but now the future's uncertain - as Thomas Magill explains.

:02:35.:02:36.

It's been almost half of my life in here.

:02:37.:02:38.

It is the busiest day of the week for Lizzie,

:02:39.:02:40.

she's been cutting hair here at the Elephant

:02:41.:02:42.

and Castle Shopping Centre for the last 25 years.

:02:43.:02:45.

Now, she fears her livelihood and way of life is under threat.

:02:46.:02:47.

It's like a family now, you see the community altogether.

:02:48.:02:50.

And it is the place where all of my friends, clients are,

:02:51.:02:54.

There's over 100 other Latin American traders in the area.

:02:55.:03:05.

What made you guys come here all of those years ago?

:03:06.:03:07.

Well, it was a very cheap place to invest...

:03:08.:03:09.

That could change if new plans to redevelop this space

:03:10.:03:12.

One of the things the planning application doesn't cover

:03:13.:03:16.

is by policy, that should be 10% of retail space in developments that

:03:17.:03:19.

That is not included in the planning application.

:03:20.:03:26.

Love it or hate it, there's no doubt the Elephant

:03:27.:03:30.

and Castle Shopping Centre is a local landmark.

:03:31.:03:31.

But look around, there is unprecedented change happening.

:03:32.:03:35.

Tower blocks are popping up all over the place and now the owners of this

:03:36.:03:39.

key site want to do the same and build this - 1000 new homes,

:03:40.:03:45.

a cultural centre, a new university campus and retail units.

:03:46.:03:50.

The shopping centre has had many makeovers, extensions

:03:51.:04:03.

But now, after 52 years, the owners feel that time has come

:04:04.:04:11.

Now the weather forecast for the start of the week, from Alina.

:04:12.:04:18.

Hello, if you enjoyed the sunshine today there

:04:19.:04:20.

Clear skies, temperatures at five or 6 degrees around dawn.

:04:21.:04:26.

Cloud around in the morning which will melt away

:04:27.:04:31.

and for much of the day, lengthy spells of sunshine.

:04:32.:04:34.

The winds will be lighter tomorrow, so it should feel a touch warmer.

:04:35.:04:37.

More spells of sunshine on Tuesday and Wednesday,

:04:38.:04:42.

the small chance that we could see a shower but most

:04:43.:04:44.

Our next news is at 6.30 in the morning.

:04:45.:04:49.

Hello there, it's not often that we have the best of the weather at the

:04:50.:05:13.

weekend. But, that seems to be the case this time around. This week,

:05:14.:05:16.

there will be more cloud around bringing with it a chance of rain.

:05:17.:05:20.

Especially in the north and west, but the wind will keep warm by the

:05:21.:05:24.

day, and it should be warm at night as

:05:25.:05:25.
