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

A look at weather and,
after a dry night, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
it should be a largely bright
and chilly start to the morning. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
There is the chance
of the odd spot of rain | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
but it won't be much,
if anything at all. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Top temperature 6 Celsius. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
That's it. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
If you heard about the train strikes
in the news earlier, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
don't forget you can keep
across all you need to know tomorrow | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
morning on BBC London. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
That's online, on our Twitter
feed, BBC Radio London | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
and here on TV from 6.30. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
But for now, on behalf
of the weekend team tonight, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
I wish you a very good night. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 |
