Now on BBC One it's time
for the news where you are. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
Good evening, I'm Asad Ahmad. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
For the first time police have been
given powers to charge, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
fine or imprison people who hang
around a housing estate in east | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
London, even if they haven't
actually committed a crime. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
The court order allows officers
to take action in order | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
to keep residents safe. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
And it could be rolled
out across London. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Here's Sarah Harris. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
Leaving his flat at Bentworth Court
in east London isn't an option | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
for pensioner Malcolm Bass. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Gangs congregating outside have
physically attacked him on four | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
separate occasions and stolen
from his twice. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Despite the injuries,
he's determined to play | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
down the violence. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
There was a group
of them in the block. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
I've asked them to leave. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
One of them has knocked me down
and they started kicking me, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
you know what I mean? | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
But it wasn't that bad,
so I've taken more than | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
a kicking in my life. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Now the police, working
with Tower Hamlets housing, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
have secured new legislation
from the courts to arrest people | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
who loiter in the hallways here. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
It means they can charge,
fine or imprison people | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
for just being here. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
It's the first time these orders
have been used in the capital. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
We carry out random daily patrols
on a number of occasions, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
throughout the day, each day. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
There are occasions
where in previous times | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
where we've seen people here,
we've had to eject them | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
from the premises. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
This gives us that extra
tool to make sure they | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
don't come back again. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Malcolm hopes it means his elderly
neighbours can get out | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
of their flats again before
it's too late. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
I buried a 97-year-old
lady in the last year, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
she'd lived here since it was built. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Even then she was scared to come out
of the door at night | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
to talk to her neighbours,
which is wrong. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
It's not fair. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
It's hoped the new order will be
used in other residential | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
blocks across the capital. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Sarah Harris, BBC London News. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
As well as showing off the latest
styles and drawing in billions | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
of pounds of investment,
London Fashion Week is also | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
attracting demonstrations
and protests on various issues. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
The attention the catwalks get
is increasingly seen | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
as a chance to voice opinions. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Here's a snapshot of
some of the topics. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
You should frack off! | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Vivienne Westwood using the start
of London Fashion Week | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
to make her message heard
against fracking for gas | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
in Surrey and elsewhere. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
Nearby protesters made their voice
heard too, at a topless demo | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
about the increasing use
of fur in fashion. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
The topless protest people
might think is shocking, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
but you know what is shocking? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
The fact that people wear bits
of completely tortured, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
brutalised animals and they think
this is normal. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
There's also the issue of plus-sized
models arguing against the use | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
of size zero models on the catwalk. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Recycled plastic is also
a feature at Fashion Week, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
with designers saying
they want to make a political | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
statement by using it. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
And abuse in the industry
is also being talked about. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
The London model Adwoa Aboah
says there is real fear | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
among both men and women,
but the fashion industry | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
says it's on the case. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
We've created a model first
initiative and this is very much | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
in response to the Me Too campaign
that started at the end of last | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
year, that has built
on the incredible work we've done | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
already to make sure models
are looked after here in the UK. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
London Fashion Week,
complete with protests, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
is on until Tuesday. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
Now the weather forecast
with Elizabeth. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Good evening, it almost felt like
spring at times today, lots of blue | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
sky and sunshine despite a cold and
frosty start. Another frost is | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
possible tomorrow morning and it
will feel a bit cloudy as well. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Overnight tonight the best of the
clear skies will be out towards the | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
east. This is where we'll see the
lowest temperatures tomorrow | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
morning. The mist on fog is possible
that will readily lift and clear. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
Cloudy day than today, the best of
the brightness will be through the | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
morning. Top temperatures 10-11.
It's going to be a cloudy, damp but | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
mild start to the new working week.
Some outbreaks of light, patchy rain | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
and drizzle on Monday. It's going to
turn drier but colder with a chilly | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
easterly wind taking hold. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
Just before we go, let me tell
you that Chinese New Year | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
celebrations are taking place
in central London. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
This was what it looked like in
China Town in Soho a short time ago. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
2018 is the Year of the Dog,
which means anyone born this year - | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
according to Chinese tradition -
will have the characteristics | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
of being communicative
and responsible at work. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:55 | |
I won't tell you what year I was
born in, it definitely wasn't the | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
year of the dog! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
That's it for now. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
Have a very good evening. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 |
