0:00:18 > 0:00:19Good evening.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I'm Asad Ahmad.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23The Prime Minister has said there will be a government review
0:00:23 > 0:00:26into the decision to release serial sex attacker and former
0:00:26 > 0:00:27London Black Cab driver John Worboys from prison.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Thersea May also revealed to the BBC that she knows one of his victims.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Here's Frankie McCamley.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34The London Black cab driver convicted of 19 offences,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36suspected of attacking more than 100 women.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39John Worboys picked up his victims victims in the West End,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41giving them champagne mixed with sedatives, allowing the serial
0:00:41 > 0:00:46sex attacker to carry out repeated assaults.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47The 60-year-old was given an indeterminate sentence,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50which meant he would not be released until parole officials
0:00:50 > 0:00:59were convinced he did not pose a threat to women.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02This month, he will be released after serving ten years in prison.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04A decision that has been heavily criticised, especially after victims
0:01:04 > 0:01:09came forward to say they had not been informed.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Currently, parole hearings are in private and reasons
0:01:11 > 0:01:12for release are not made public.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15But earlier on The Andrew Marr Show, the Prime Minister confirmed
0:01:15 > 0:01:18the government will review the way they operate.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I know somebody who was one of his victims and who was not
0:01:21 > 0:01:23contacted and first heard of what was happening
0:01:23 > 0:01:25through the media.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, I recognise why people are so concerned about this
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and that's why I think it's right, obviously the parole board
0:01:30 > 0:01:32operates independently, but I think it's right that we,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35as a government are saying, we should look at the question
0:01:35 > 0:01:38of openness and that we should look at this whole issue too of how
0:01:38 > 0:01:46victims are kept in touch.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Despite some welcoming the decision, others question what it
0:01:48 > 0:01:51will achieve in the long term.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I think the review does need to happen, but I think it needs
0:01:54 > 0:01:55to be more than a review.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I think action has to be taken after the review.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The Justice Secretary, David Liddington, has said he hopes
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the review will give Worboys' victims full confidence
0:02:02 > 0:02:03in the justice system.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's expected to be completed before Easter.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Frankie McCamley, BBC London News.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14A shop worker from North London is on a life support machine
0:02:14 > 0:02:16after he was attacked when he refused to serve alcohol
0:02:16 > 0:02:17or cigarettes to underage teenagers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Officers say the 49-year-old was attacked outside a shop
0:02:20 > 0:02:22on the Broadway in Mill Hill by three young men
0:02:22 > 0:02:23shortly before midnight.
0:02:23 > 0:02:31Police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33The owners of a family-run cafe in a west London park
0:02:33 > 0:02:36say they fear a large chain will come and take their place
0:02:36 > 0:02:40after being forced to close their doors.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42But the Trust responsible for the site says a fair tendering
0:02:42 > 0:02:45process is in place and they too don't want
0:02:45 > 0:02:47to see a High Street chain opening up either.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Ayshea Buksh has the story.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Black Americano.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Alan Dillon and his family have been running this Walpole Park cafe
0:02:55 > 0:02:58in Ealing for nearly ten years.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01His contract with the council is coming to an end
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and the new owners who run the nearby museum have
0:03:03 > 0:03:06rejected his bid to stay.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07It's upsetting.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13I'm devastated that it could be potentially coming to an end.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's something I've built up over the last ten years.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'm very proud of that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19A petition has been gathered with thousands of signatures,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23including dog walkers and local families.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24It's really, really sad, actually.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28It seems to be a man who's built up a little business and having it
0:03:28 > 0:03:29stripped away from him.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think every high street in the UK is becoming more and more generic.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Pittshanger Manor House and Gallery was once the home
0:03:34 > 0:03:36of architect John Soane.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38It's now undergoing a £10 million restoration project and a new cafe
0:03:39 > 0:03:43will open in addition to the kiosk.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We're absolutely determined to find a cafe operator, a kiosk operator,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50who responds to local demand.
0:03:50 > 0:03:58If possible, a small business like Alan's, but, very sadly,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Alan bid along with five others.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03His bid really didn't stack up against the others and we couldn't
0:04:03 > 0:04:05responsibly have put him on to the short list.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Alan still hopes he has a chance to compete with other businesses.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The final decision will be made next month.
0:04:10 > 0:04:19Ayshea Buksh, BBC London News.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22A look at weather and, after a dry night,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24it should be a largely bright and chilly start to the morning.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27There is the chance of the odd spot of rain
0:04:27 > 0:04:29but it won't be much, if anything at all.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Top temperature 6 Celsius.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32That's it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34If you heard about the train strikes in the news earlier,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37don't forget you can keep across all you need to know tomorrow
0:04:37 > 0:04:38morning on BBC London.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's online, on our Twitter feed, BBC Radio London
0:04:41 > 0:04:42and here on TV from 6.30.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44But for now, on behalf of the weekend team tonight,
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I wish you a very good night.
