very possible. Joe Wilson, BBC News,
at Twickenham. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
That's it. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
and I'll be back with the late
news at Ten. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Now on BBC1, it's time
for the news where you are. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Bye for now. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:13 | |
Good evening, I'm Asad Ahmad. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
The Prime Minister
is being urged to "hit | 0:00:16 | 0:00:26 | |
the Russians where it hurts" -
by taking tough measures | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
against some multi-millionaires
and oligarchs who launder | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
money through London. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
The call has come from the MP
for Barking, Dame Margaret Hodge - | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
who feels now is the time
to take action. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Here's Ali Fortescue. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
Some say this is the start
of a new Cold War. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
But what do cooling
relations between Britain | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
and Russia mean for London? | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
Today there have been calls
for tough action on Russian | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
oligarchs living in the city. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
I support the measures that
Theresa May and the government | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
have taken so far. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:58 | |
But they have not hit
the Russians where it hurts. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
What we have to do is take strong
action to stop the laundering | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
of money out of Russia into the city
and into London. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Yesterday police launched a murder
enquiry into the death of Russian | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
businessman Nikolai Glushkov
who was found dead | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
at his home in Maldon. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Detectives say there's no evidence
that this was linked | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
to the Salisbury poisoning. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:23 | |
But some say this is a moment
to clear London of Russians | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
suspected of corruption. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
The only real impact is going to be
if we and the international | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
community freeze the assets
of Russian oligarchs who have | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
invested their money
abroad, mainly in London. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
So there is a direct connection
between the wealth of the oligarchs | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
and the Russian government. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
This is Eaton Square but it has been
called Red Square by some | 0:01:39 | 0:01:45 | |
because of the number of Russian
oligarchs thought to be living here. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
But some say we should welcome
foreign investment in London. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
They say that there are
money-laundering checks | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
and that the super-rich
boost the economy. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
It is important to stress that not
all Russian oligarchs or Russian | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
businessmen are corrupt
or crooked or gangsters. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
We're talking about a small number
that are politically connected | 0:02:01 | 0:02:07 | |
oligarchs and we have no idea
of where this money has come from. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
So it is secret dirty money coming
into London, but it is a small | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
number of oligarchs. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
So as tension between Britain
and the Kremlin builds, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
pressure is mounting
on the government to | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
international money-laundering
in the capital. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
A man has died after
being shot and stabbed on | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
a street in Enfield
just after midnight. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Police were called to South Street -
where the victim thought to be aged | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
in his 20s died at the scene. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
A second man was taken to hospital. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Police are appealing
for information. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Hundreds of people have
marched to the home of one | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
of the country's oldest
non-League clubs - | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
to voice their anger | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
at developers trying to remove
Dulwich Hamlet FC from their ground. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Meadow Residential owns the land
where the team has played | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
for nearly 90 years -
and now wants to remove them. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
High profile figures,
including former England player | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
Rio Ferdinand are supporting
Dulwich Hamlet's fight. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
The Duke of Cambridge
has taken the salute | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
at the Irish Guards'
St Patrick's Day | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
parade in west London. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
The Duchess was there too,
to present shamrock to officers - | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
at the 1st battalion's
base in Houslow. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
A shamrock was also pinned
to the collar of the battalion's | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
mascot, Donal, an Irish Wolfhound -
who led the march. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Prince William, who is a colonel
of the Irish Guards. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
The Duchess is due to give
birth to the couple's | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
third child next month. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Now the weather with Elizabeth. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Hello, good evening. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Many of us have seen a dusting
of snow already today | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
and there will be further snow
showers through this | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
evening and overnight. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
We have a Met Office warning
out for snow and ice | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
for the rest of the weekend,
but that has been escalated | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
to Amber, the second-highest level
of alert for some places and here, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
you should be prepared
for some disruption. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
We are expecting bands
of snow showers to form | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
through the Thames Estuary,
aligned with that | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
cold easterly wind. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
And where we get those bands
of showers, you could expect to see | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
accumulations of perhaps
five, ten centimetres. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
But even within the bands
there will be some places that see | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
relatively little snowfall. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
But it will be an icy
start to the day tomorrow | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
with temperatures down to -2,
-3 degrees Celsius. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
The Amber weather warning expires
at nine o'clock but we have | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
another weather warning
out for snow and ice. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
There could still be some
problems caused by it. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
But it is looking mostly dry
tomorrow, the early snow | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
showers will clear away,
perhaps a few flurries. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
There will be cloud around
but perhaps something a bit brighter | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
as we head into the afternoon. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:38 | |
These will be the highs tomorrow
but of course it will feel colder | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
than that with the wind chill. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
The wind will switch
to more of a northerly | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
as we head into Monday. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
It is looking dry, there
will be some sunshine, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
temperatures five or 6 degrees. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
That's it. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
I hope you manage to
stay warm tonight - | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
and have a very good evening. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
and have a very good evening. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 |
