I'll be back with the late news
at Ten, but now on BBC1, | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
Bye for now. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:03 | |
Good evening from BBC London News,
I'm Victoria Hollins. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
The safety review of
a multi-million pound tower block | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
renovation in Luton has been
unveiled to residents. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Plans for the Marsh Farm estate
were overhauled following | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
the Grenfell Tower disaster. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Cladding has undergone
extensive fire testing, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
and a new sprinkler system will be
installed in every flat. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
As Marc Ashdown explains. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
The fire at Grenfell Tower has led
to a rethink across London in terms | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
of high-rise safety. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
That focus this weekend came
to Luton as plans for a major | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
redevelopment of the Marsh Farm
estate were put on display. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
It will be a new look with fire
safety at its heart. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:53 | |
I am glad today especially that
I came, because if I had not come | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
today, I would still have my doubts
over whether they are going to be | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
safe or not, but being able to ask
questions and get answers to every | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
single question, my mind is at ease. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
This flame burned against the new
fireproof installation for hours. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Residents could also ask
about the new sprinkler system | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
in every flat and the exterior
cladding, which has | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
undergone rigorous testing
by the Fire Service. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
We simulated the fire breaking out
of a window and then rising up | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
the outside of the building
with the cladding. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
This test was actually
run for 24 minutes. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Now the normal British standard
would be 15 minutes, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
but we ran it for 24 minutes,
we extinguished the fire | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
and the result was that the cladding
was very slightly scorched, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
but it was still intact. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
And it did not contribute
to the fire at all. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
After Grenfell, everyone got
a little bit worried, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
but we are going for the top
of the range fittings, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
top of the range with everything,
so hopefully people have gone away | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
from here today nice and happy. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
The plans have been
updated since Grenfell. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
A concierge will be employed
to help with the upkeep. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
There will be a new heating system,
solar panels and LED lighting. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Work on the £23 million
project is due to get | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
underway in the summer. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Marc Ashdown, BBC London News. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
Two people have been arrested
in connection with the murder | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
of a 55-year old woman
at a flat in Camden. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Officers were called
to Bray Tower, part of north | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
London's Chalcot Estate,
on Friday morning to reports | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
that a woman had been
discovered with stab wounds. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
The victim, who has not been
formally identified, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
was pronounced dead at the scene. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Next of kin are aware. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
More than seven thousand people have
signed a petition against Surrey | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
council's decision to turn off
street lights across | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
the county after 1am. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
The council says it's saving two
hundred and ten thousand pounds, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
but some residents are concerned
at the spike in night-time crime. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Here's Sarah Morris. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Streetlights in Surrey. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
This is during the day,
but after one am, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
they are all turned off. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Your television is not broken,
this is how dark it gets. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
This was filmed by a local resident. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
If I was to try and walk up
and down the streets, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
I would not be able to see
where I was going. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Amanda works the overnight shift
in the local supermarket. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
This is how dark it is
when she leaves her home. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
You feel very vulnerable. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
Even walking from the car
park to the store, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
you feel very vulnerable. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
So, walking from nearby streets that
are in the pitch black | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
is really very disconcerting. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Her husband, John, has started
a petition to turn the lights back | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
on and 7000 people have signed. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
They feel that there is a curfew. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
If they going to go out
somewhere for a night out, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
they feel they have to be back
before one o'clock, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
because they are frightened to walk
the streets without streetlights. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
The level of crime during
the years prior to 2017... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
John says the figures he has been
given by the police show there has | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
been a spike in crime
since the lights went off. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
It goes up at a huge pace, 22%. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
More crime than has
ever been committed. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
The council did not
want to be interviewed. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
They said in a statement that
crime going up is not | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
related to the switch off. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
They said they did it to help
save money and worked | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
with the police before
making a decision. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Looking out of the window,
it was completely pitch black. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
But Jo is in no doubt
that her car was only broken | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
into outside her home
because the streetlights were off | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
and the family lost £2000
worth of new baby stuff. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
I was up most of the night,
and I should have been | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
able to hear things,
but looking out of the window, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
it was completely pitch black. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
It was the emotional shock of having
lost all of her new baby things. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Surrey County Council says they have
saved £200,000 a year, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
but residents say even though lights
will be off tonight after one am, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
their fight is still on. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
Sarah Morris, BBC London News. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:39 | |
One of London's best known
attractions had a Hollywood | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
visitor this morning.
Tom Cruise took to the top | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
of the Tate Modern tower,
filming part of his newest film. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
Helicopters waited to catch
the moment he leapt off the top | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
of the 325 foot chimney
for the latest Mission | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Impossible film. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
That takes us to a check on the
weather. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Good evening. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
Well, certainly a lot of blue skies
around today but a chilly end | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
to the weekend as there are cold
days to come. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Over the next couple of hours,
we will see the back of any showers | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
and very clear skies for much
of the night. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Widespread frost expected to develop
with temperatures getting down | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
to minus three Celsius in more rural
spots and The Met Office has | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
a yellow warning in place for ice. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
For the West and Home Counties,
that is until ten tomorrow morning. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
A lot of sunshine around tomorrow,
actually, temperatures getting up | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
to about seven or eight Celsius,
a bit of a westerly breeze | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
and over the next few days,
you can expect a frost just | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
about any of the nights. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
Some rather changeable weather
on the way, really quite chilly | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
for the first half of the week,
becoming milder as we head | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
into Thursday and Friday
when we will start to | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
see double figures. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
That is it, we are back after the
Ten O'Clock News. Goodbye. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 |
