A very warm welcome to BBC London coming up tonight.
2
It's been debated for years.
3
Now a date is finally set for part of Oxford Street to be pedestrianised.
4
Shoppers tell us what they think.
5
I think it's good.
6
I do like it.
7
I think it's going to make it less busy.
8
And I do think that it's going to give opportunities for smaller businesses to thrive and everything.
9
But I am worried about how I'm going to get to and from one end to the other.
10
That's my biggest thing.
11
Also on the programme.
12
London.
13
The best city in the world.
14
What a start, what a start.
15
From number 10 in the north, we ask the Prime Minister about London and the issues that matter most in the capital.
16
Counting the cost of fuel here in London, we look at the impact and advice for motorists plus.
17
We're high above Liverpool Street Station where a The vast refurbishment project is entering its final stages.
18
Hello and good evening to you.
19
We will, of course, bring you what we know
20
and any developments on the five men from London who were
21
arrested on suspicion of terror offences near an RAF base in Gloucestershire later during the programme.
22
First, to the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street.
23
It's controversial and has been talked about and debated for years.
24
Well, tonight, a date has finally been announced for part of the famous shopping street to go traffic -free, and it's next month.
25
However, some say there are still questions to be answered.
26
Victoria Hollins has more.
27
the usual mix of buses bikes taxis and pedestrians on oxford street today
28
but come the 26th of october all but the pedestrians will be gone
29
when it will go traffic free it's welcome news to the
30
mayor of london who's made it one of his flagship projects it's really important why
31
because we've seen good quality retail leaving oxford street we've seen bad quality shops come to oxford street
32
And this is our nation's high street, contributes billions of pounds towards our economy, willing to flourish and thrive.
33
So we worked really hard with businesses, with shopkeepers, with retail and with the council.
34
A stretch of almost one kilometre between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street in the east will be closed to traffic, creating a huge new pedestrian zone.
35
There'll still be access on adjoining roads crossing north to south.
36
And crucially, emergency vehicles will still also have access.
37
I work in one of the stores down the street, and it does get busy, so I guess it'll do good for stores and for shops, especially during the busy times, and you'll actually be able to walk more.
38
Well, from my point of view, it's a good idea because it's too much traffic and people.
39
In the end, I'll finish up going home.
40
You've got the whole aspect of air quality improving.
41
I mean, this London, it's really busy also.
42
And then also, you know what?
43
The pavements are really busy all the time.
44
The idea is that this makes Oxford Street much more appealing in the crucial pre -Christmas period.
45
Supporters say it will make the area safer, it will make the air cleaner.
46
But those opposed to the idea say
47
that actually this will disadvantage those with additional needs and will just push the traffic elsewhere.
48
There's been years of disagreement with both Labour and Conservative administrations at Westminster Council,
49
which said today it still has many questions and black cab drivers also have reservations.
50
It's a renders idea, people coming out of shops with bags and they need to get onto public transport, whether it's buses or taxis.
51
Tadiq Khan says the buses are only going to be delayed by one minute on every journey.
52
I think that's a bit far -fetched.
53
Also, a lot of the local residents didn't want it, but they've been overruled.
54
You won't get one cab driver, anyone with any common sense.
55
It's a professional driver to say that's a good idea, not really.
56
The newly formed Oxford Street Development Corporation will monitor how people use the space.
57
That will then shape the design of permanent changes in the future.
58
And Victoria's on Oxford Street now.
59
Fair to say this has been a long time coming.
60
Yeah, Riz, it was back in 1971 when something called the Oxford Street Action Committee called for a ban on traffic.
61
The first car -free day here was back in 2008.
62
And then it was in 2016 when Sir Sadiq Khan became Mayor of London
63
that he formally proposed the idea of Oxford Street becoming traffic -free.
64
Westminster City Council have not looked on these plans particularly favourably over the years, it's fair to say.
65
Let's find out more details about why from Deputy Leader, Councillor Tim Barnes.
66
Thanks for joining us this evening.
67
So we're here today, the 26th of September.
68
What do you make of that?
69
Well, it's great that we've finally got a date in public from the Mayor for when traffic -free Oxford Street will commence,
70
but we're still really worried about many of the.. issues of management of the street
71
and for the area around which really haven't been solved.
72
A lot of businesses have been pretty positive about this they say
73
that you know the fortunes need changing of this street but you've got some real practical concerns haven't you?
74
I think we can all agree
75
that Oxford Street has needed investment for a long time
76
and indeed before Sadiq Khan announced this plan there already was
77
a plan to invest about 120 million half from the private
78
sector half from the public sector to rejuvenate the street unfortunately 20 million pounds of
79
that had been spent by the time that he started and that money was just wasted.
80
We need to have a plan that works for everywhere, and that's not just the street itself, but the area around the street.
81
There's vastly more economic activity around the street than just the retail on it, and taking the traffic off the street and pushing it to the streets on the side is going to endanger that.
82
Now, the Oxford Street Development Corporation say they're going to monitor with real -time data what happens during this period.
83
What do you most want them to look out for?
84
I want them to look at that whole area, not just the street itself.
85
We're going to have to look at everything from the number of jobs and the amount of office space that's available, the amount of retail space that's available, as well as elements like air pollution.
86
All along the street there are issues of management that will need to be taken care of.
87
We still don't know adequately who's going to clean it, what the policing is going to be looking like, how the blue light services will make their way down or, as you might be able to see behind me,
88
who's even going to be able to take care of the pot plants on the street.
89
Lots of questions still to be answered.
90
Thank you very much indeed for your time tonight.
91
So, as much as we know, so far, the 26th of September is going to look very different here indeed.
92
I'm sorry, 26th of October is going to look very different here indeed, Chris.
93
I was just about to say that, Victoria.
94
Thank you.
95
Thanks for being with us this Monday.
96
Lots more ahead, including...
97
We take you to the top of London's busiest railway station, where a major roof refurb is almost complete.
98
It is the greatest capital city, the words of the Prime Minister speaking to our political editor Carl Mercer at Number 10 North about London.
99
It comes as Andy Burnham attends the Labour Party's annual conference for the first time as leader and PM.
100
Carl is there in Liverpool and has sent us this report.
101
So everywhere you look at conferences, there's the banner saying hope again, the slogan of the conference.
102
And I have to say, the mood here is pretty optimistic, certainly compared to the last time I was here last year when Keir Starmer was the Labour leader.
103
But Labour do have an issue in London.
104
Cast your mind back just to the May elections and the party had a disastrous result, losing half of their councils, about a third of their councillors.
105
So when I caught up with the Prime Minister on Friday, I put it to him that London might be falling out of love with Labour.
106
We never take anyone's support for granted, and I certainly don't do that as Prime Minister.
107
I'll work every single day to justify people's support.
108
So what am I doing, you might then say.
109
Well, next week, VAT will come off people's electricity bills across the capital.
110
That is something that will help.
111
I'm not going to claim to you it's everything, but it's a sign that I am doing what I can to help people as quickly as I can.
112
They'll be worried about housing in London as well, and possibly because it's fallen off a cliff, the number of houses being built.
113
The number of affordable homes in London, 4 ,500 last year, instead of 26 ,000 the year before.
114
Is that indicative of a mayor who is working with the Labour government who are both failing?
115
Well, I think your analysis is a bit off -beam there,
116
to be honest, because I recently have agreed with Mayor Sadiq Khan a huge package of housing funding,
117
particularly to see the biggest wave of council house building across London than we've seen in many, many, many a year.
118
And I've agreed that since coming into office.
119
I think your question is unfair to Sadiq Khan as well as it's unfair to the government
120
because we've just agreed that and it will make a massive difference.
121
And actually, I've faced pressure from other parts of the country saying that, you know, why is London getting all of this money?
122
And I'll tell you why, because the housing crisis is felt in London more keenly than anywhere else.
123
And it's right that I do that to support Sadiq
124
and the councils in London who've brought forward plans to address the housing crisis.
125
Do you want Sadiq to be your candidate for mayor at the next level?
126
I'd always support him.
127
I think he's done a great job as the mayor of London.
128
And I'm happy to say that it is the greatest capital city and it will always have my support.
129
You know, Sadiq has done bold things in relation to air quality, improving the health of Londoners.
130
The quality of transport in London continues to improve.
131
I'm somebody who works very closely with him and he has done more, I think, to address the housing crisis than any of his predecessors.
132
he's got my full support and backing in whatever he decides to do.
133
How important is the upcoming by -election in Hoban and St Pancras for your position nationally, but also for the party in London and what it says about where Labour's now standing in London?
134
It is an important by -election, make no mistake about it.
135
And, you know, we're not complacent in any way, shape or form.
136
We've got to justify people's support.
137
And I think some of the things I have done show that I am listening to people and their concerns.
138
Interesting to hear the Prime Minister there saying that the Hoban and St Pancras by -election will be difficult for Labour, particularly given those results of the May elections.
139
But he also alluded to, didn't he, in that interview about Sadiq Khan's future.
140
There's room for some of the candidates who want to replace
141
him to get round the back rooms of the conference and hold their own events.
142
People like Dawn Butler, the Brent MP.
143
Look at these pictures.
144
Here's her last night at her big Jamaica event where she was pressing a lot of flesh.
145
So much going on in the back rooms and everyone waiting to see what the mayor's going to do about his future.
146
That was our political editor, Karl Mercer, in Liverpool.
147
And you can read the full interview with Prime Minister Andy Burnham on our website.
148
Turning now to a round -up of some of the day's other news stories.
149
Thousands of residents across five south London boroughs
150
and two areas in Surrey woke up to no water or low pressure this morning after a major leak.
151
Thames Water says it delivered water to some areas and engineers were sent to fix the burst water main.
152
It says supplies have now been restored, but some customers may still experience low water pressure.
153
And a 45 -year -old man who strangled his mother before calling police to confess has been jailed for life
154
and will serve a minimum of 22 years.
155
The Old Bailey heard Richard Clayton had a long history of stealing from family members, including his mother, to fund his drug habit.
156
Now, as we've been hearing, diesel prices in London have hit an all -time high of just under £2 a litre, with some fuel stations charging more than that.
157
Petrol prices are also still rising as the continuing Iran war has severely disrupted oil production across the region.
158
It's adding to the cost of living for Londoners and having a big impact on businesses in and around the capital.
159
Aisha Baksh has been getting reaction and advice.
160
well fuel costs are at an all -time high mainly
161
because oil supplies have been affected by ongoing international conflicts
162
and without doubt it's impacting people living and working across london
163
and the home counties now before the war began the average
164
price in the uk of unleaded petrol was nearly 133 pence per liter
165
and diesel was just over 142 pence Now the average cost here across the UK is nearly £2 for diesel
166
and petrol comes in at around 174 pence per litre.
167
But here in London we found places selling diesel for nearly £2 .10 pence and petrol at 185 pence per litre.
168
Now what can we do?
169
Well some people are switching to electric vehicles, perhaps using their car less or even getting public transport
170
but many drivers say they can't do this and they need their cars, vans and motorbikes for their businesses and everyday transport.
171
Use a fuel price comparison checker.
172
CarWow has one on its website.
173
And also use other methods.
174
You know, you can do things like eco -driving, for example, which is all about driving very smoothly, avoiding harsh acceleration and braking.
175
You can reduce your load, for example, take off roof racks and keep your car in good condition, you know, keep it serviced,
176
keep tyres at the correct pressure, you know, every little helps, basically.
177
So will it get better?
178
Will prices at the pump continue to stay high?
179
Well, conflicts overseas show sadly no sign of being resolved.
180
And even if you don't drive, high fuel prices inevitably affect us all.
181
Often businesses, both small and large, may potentially have to pass on their extra costs to their customers.
182
Ayesha Bhaksh there, reporting on rising fuel costs.
183
Next, residents in Brentford have raised concerns about dead animals reportedly washing up in the river there.
184
Those doing water sports, including children, say they've spotted various species, which authorities believe is due to a combination of factors.
185
I should warn you that some of you may find parts of Gemma O 'Reilly's report distressing.
186
It's an area used for water sports,
187
canal boats and local wildlife but residents did not expect to find scenes like this and it's not the first.
188
Paul Kane has seen dozens of dead animals in Brentford waterways this summer
189
while coaching local children in water sports
190
and he says he's raised the issue with local authorities but now has had to take it into his own hands.
191
You can obviously see from here that like with kids coming up
192
and trying to do activities it's actually hard to try and operate and make people enjoy their time.
193
I saw like a dead mouse slowly floating to the lock and a cat now I think it was Hallows Bridge.
194
I felt quite uncomfortable and sad and it really put me off kayaking near that area.
195
The hot summer has meant bacteria like E .coli and toxins like botulism can spread faster and impact local wildlife.
196
The water quality can also be impacted by misconnections when household sewage ends up in waterways, something Ben has been working to stop.
197
We need to see much, much better inspections and regulation of plumbing and drainage on our properties throughout the capital.
198
And until we've got that done, we're still going to have this sewage pollution going into these rivers.
199
There are multiple organisations with responsibilities when it comes to water management.
200
It's about sitting around, coming up with an action plan, which I know that Paul Keane has called for
201
and I think it's important that we support that and make sure that everyone's working together and cooperating on this.
202
In a statement, the Canal and River Trust said, we understand just how distressing it is for local people to find dead animals
203
and aim to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
204
Thames Water said, the area is prone to issues with misconnections and we are working closely with partners to tackle them to improve water quality.
205
The Environment Agency said the area is still experiencing drought from the summer
206
and we will continue to work to investigate reports of pollution to help protect the river environment.
207
My plan which I put forward for councillors today
208
and I'm happy to sit down with the board with the
209
Canal River Trust is to get something in place for next year so we're not back here.
210
So if we're back here in September again
211
and other algae specifically blue green algae that shuts down our provision
212
and with next summer also expected to be hot the future of water sports
213
and wildlife here remains unclear jem o'reilly bbc london more now on
214
that news of five men in their 20s from london who
215
were arrested yesterday morning in connection with a suspected plot to attack an air base in gloucestershire
216
and have been released on police bail the investigation is continuing at RAF Fairford, which has been used by the US military in its war against Iran.
217
Our UK affairs correspondent, Daniel Sanford, is at Scotland Yard with the latest.
218
Daniel.
219
Yes, so it emerged earlier this morning
220
that the five men who'd been arrested in connection with the
221
events in RAF Fairford earlier on Sunday morning were all from London, all men in their 20s, they were aged between 23 and 25,
222
and were all British nationals.
223
And that obviously brought the focus quite quickly to the capital
224
and to the fact that the capital had quite a strong connection to events at IRF Fairford over the weekend.
225
But then came news this afternoon that all five men who'd been arrested had been released, albeit under very strict bail conditions,
226
leaving the possibility that they were maybe unconnected to any act of terrorism or any active possession of explosives,
227
which were the charges that they were being held under.
228
But the head of counterterrorism policing, Lawrence Taylor, did make it quite clear that the investigation wasn't over, that the men were on stringent bail conditions,
229
and that officers, as he put it, would be looking at every angle of the case,
230
including the possibility that somebody might have been working either knowingly or even unknowingly on behalf of a foreign power.
231
And of Of course, a lot of the speculation over the last 36 hours has been about whether this is somehow linked to Iran
232
because of the fact that US bombers had taken off from Aria Fairford towards Iran.
233
So this case has taken a couple of big twists today.
234
We haven't heard of any addresses in London being searched, but clearly London is to a degree at the focus, but also at the focus at something of a mystery.
235
OK, Daniel, with the latest there from Scotland Yard.
236
Thank you.
237
to paralympic gold medalist lizzie jordan now from guildford who's written
238
to the chancellor calling for tandem bikes to qualify for an exemption for the vat for adaptive bicycles saying
239
It's like a disability lottery as to who can benefit.
240
Lizzie, who's visually impaired, says it's incredible what tandem cycling has given her.
241
Juliet Parkin has the story.
242
This one here is my most recent medal that I won at the Commonwealth Games in the summer in the velodrome.
243
Cycling has given Lizzie Jordan medals, titles and even an MBE.
244
This one up here I won in Rio last year on the track as well.
245
But more than anything, she says, freedom.
246
What's really lovely for someone that's visually impaired
247
or blind on the back of a tandem is we spend
248
a lot of our life being physically guided by someone at quite a slow pace, being quite hesitant, worrying what's ahead of us.
249
But on a tandem, I just feel totally free.
250
I don't have to worry about anything but enjoying the wind rushing past me, the thrill of getting up to higher speeds.
251
It's just absolutely fantastic compared to the normal life that I normally lead.
252
Now Lizzie wants to make sure everyone gets a taste of that.
253
I am campaigning to ensure that every blind
254
and partially sighted person in our country has the right to access something as simple as a bike.
255
Lizzie wants tandems to be recognised as adaptive bicycles when purchased by someone with sight loss.
256
This would bring them in line with other bikes designed for disabled people and make them VAT exempt, lowering therefore the financial barrier.
257
So I just think it's a total injustice to visually impaired people
258
that it's come down to a disability lottery as to who can benefit from VAT exemption.
259
Lizzie says her campaign, backed by British Cycling, is not about elite performance, but about equality.
260
Tandems are not a leisure luxury for people with a visual impairment.
261
They are the only safe way with a sighted pilot
262
that people with a visual impairment can experience the joy and freedom that cycling brings.
263
Lizzie Jordan has made a name for herself in paracycling, winning gold in Paris, multiple world titles and Commonwealth bronze this summer.
264
Steering a Paralympic champion around the Surrey Hills means a lot to her training partner too.
265
It's an honour.
266
It's always a privilege.
267
I enjoy riding tandems anyway, so to be able to do it with Lizzie is absolutely fantastic.
268
Lizzie's written to the Chancellor calling for the change and hopes it will be passed in the autumn budget.
269
Although few will become World and Paralympic champions, Lizzie hopes that this change will make tandem cycling accessible to all.
270
Juliet Park in there.
271
Now let us take you to a part of London's Liverpool Street Station, the busiest in the UK, which you don't normally get to see up close and personal.
272
A major refurbishment of the roof, which has taken over two years, is nearing completion.
273
Thankfully, our reporter Alper has a head for heights and sent us this.
274
Over two years, a massive renovation project at the UK's busiest station has been in full flow,
275
replacing the station's discoloured, cracked and weather -damaged roof.
276
Anyone who's been commuting into this station for the last few years, what difference will they see?
277
I guess it's what they really now see with the light coming through.
278
So if you came here two years ago, it was very dark and dingy.
279
I mean, personally, as a sort of passenger or a person coming through, I kind of wondered how the station actually would operate at that sort of light level.
280
But maybe people didn't recognise actually the difference between what they've got today.
281
When we started to replace the panels, we saw the light really coming into the station by the time we got to the end, it's a different station.
282
From below, it's difficult to imagine how vast this project is.
283
Thousands of glazing panels have been replaced, the equivalent of nine Olympic -sized swimming pools,
284
to let in more light and protect this Victorian landmark.
285
There was some disruption, with much of the most complicated work taking place during Christmas and weekend closures.
286
Now two years on,
287
the roof's drainage system has been improved to reduce leaks and 800 wooden timbers renewed from the decorative valance,
288
all giving new life to this 150 -year -old Grade II listed building.
289
So it's really critical that we future -proof it.
290
Last year, our busiest day was 450 ,000 people, which is an immense size.
291
It's almost the size of Edinburgh.
292
So you can really appreciate the volume of passengers that we're seeing
293
and by 2041 I believe we're scheduled to go up to
294
153 million passengers a year by making it a lot safer with the drainage they're obviously able to travel through seamlessly
295
So you're done and dusted?
296
It really does feel like we're sweeping up
297
and going out the back door right at the moment
298
so yeah when you consider the amount of temporary work scaffolding we've had
299
and now we really are leaving how we come in.
300
So if you're passing through Liverpool Street Station the departure boards aren't the only thing worth looking at.
301
Above them a lighter brighter view is waiting.
302
Alba Battelle BBC London.
303
Okay here's Kay with the weather.
304
Good evening we've been flipping between summer
305
and autumn for the last few days we've been up
306
and down like a really haven't we we had autumn this morning we had a little bit of
307
that shallow mist around in the suburbs and in rural spots
308
and also temperatures dropped down into single figures for some as well
309
but this afternoon we got the sun shining once again a bit of cloud around this afternoon turning
310
that sunshine a little bit hazy
311
but all in all it's been a decent day the winds have been fairly light as well
312
and things are about to get warmer we've got a warm
313
front that's gonna be pushing its way up from the south bringing a few showers through tonight
314
and tomorrow morning but what it will also do is bring in some very warm
315
and muggy air all the way up from the south.
316
You can see the isobars there are quite close together.
317
It's going to be quite breezy as well.
318
For the time being though we've got that cloud now starting to thicken up
319
and there will be some rain pushing its way in as we go through this evening.
320
Overnight though it will tend to clear away to the north keeping quite a bit of clouds tonight
321
and the winds will start to pick up towards the early hours of the morning
322
and the temperatures are rising so 14 to 16 degrees our minimum temperatures
323
so tomorrow morning we start off with quite a bit of
324
cloud a few shells perhaps across the west for a time through the morning
325
but that will clear away and then the cloud will break up
326
so we'll get
327
that lovely sunshine returning through the afternoon tomorrow blue sky throughout
328
the day the winds will be a bit stronger though
329

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
