Tonight on BBC London, a special programme live from Notting Hill as the capital counts down to Europe's largest street party.
2
And it's more significant this year as Carnival celebrates its 60th anniversary.
3
I'm with the band, warming up ahead of a weekend of music, costumes, food and family.
4
Three, two, one.
5
We'll hear stories through the generations of what Carnival means to Londoners.
6
Plus...
7
Come and see what we've been making for Carnival.
8
We're behind the scenes seeing how the spectacular costumes are created.
9
And we hear about plans to keep Carnival safe
10
and all you need to know about getting around West London this busy bank holiday weekend.
11
Hello and welcome.
12
You join us at the Tabernacle, an historic community hub that in a run-up to Carnival transforms into a massive workshop
13
and where much of the organisation takes place.
14
You'll probably see people coming in and out while we're on air.
15
It is the beating heart, if you like,
16
and over the weekend it is going to get seriously busy as this world-famous Notting Hill Carnival marks its 60th anniversary.
17
We'll talk more about the history and the significance in a moment.
18
But first, talking about crowds, the number of people coming has grown over the years.
19
Almost two million people are expected to descend on this corner
20
of the capital over the next few days to soak up the atmosphere.
21
And how to keep the event safe has become a key concern in recent years.
22
Our Home Affairs correspondent, Sonia Jessup, reports on plans to keep carnival goers safe, including some new measures.
23
Once again, the streets of Notting Hill are set to fill with the sights and sounds of carnival.
24
But this year has some big changes when it comes to keeping everyone safe, including doubling the number of stewards to around three and a half thousand.
25
We've always known that we needed more stewards, we just didn't have the resource.
26
You know, some people say that too much money's been spent on carnival, but I would say it's an investment not just in the economic impact
27
that Carnival has on London but also on the social impact and what it does for people's hearts, minds and their wellbeing.
28
That extra £4.6 million grant from City Hall comes following concerns in previous years over crowd safety
29
and the potential of a dangerous crush.
30
There will also be more CCTV and signage.
31
More than 7,000 police will be on duty over the weekend.
32
Earlier this week, the Met, along with the Greater Manchester force,
33
arrested seven people suspected of being part of a gang which may be linked to violent robberies at the 2025 carnival.
34
The Met says they'll be using more live facial recognition here this year too, despite concerns last year from civil liberty and anti-racism groups.
35
So it's going to be used at carnival
36
and that's going to be basically to identify those people coming to Carnival who want to commit crime.
37
Last year at Carnival
38
when we used it we arrested over 61 people who were coming to Carnival
39
and we spoke to over 30 registered sex offenders.
40
So even if the technology gets it wrong, it might be stopped and questioned, that's an inconvenience but I think that's something that should be tolerated in the interest of safety.
41
My understanding is it was successful last year and I can't speak for everyone but I think it's a good thing.
42
On social media, the message to those coming is to be patient, listen to those stewards.
43
All right, calm down, calm down.
44
There's plenty more whining, but for now, just filter yourself through.
45
Don't step on my trainers, please, and thank you.
46
And help keep Carnival safe for everyone.
47
Sonia Jessop, BBC London.
48
Some important advice there.
49
Well, now, let's get closer to the action and the sights and sounds of Carnival, one of which is of course Steel Pan.
50
We can join Alice who is just around the corner as the anticipation builds Alice for a special weekend.
51
It certainly is a special weekend here in Notting Hill.
52
I'm on All Saints Road which this evening is a hive of activity.
53
You will no doubt see
54
and hear behind me the sweet sounds of the Mangrove Steel Orchestra who are rehearsing ahead of their big day,
55
which is tomorrow in the Steel Pan competition called Panorama, and then of course ahead of Carnival.
56
So I'm going to go and grab one of the members of Mangrove, Marvin, sorry to interrupt you.
57
So you are rehearsing ahead of tomorrow, what are you getting up to, what's it going to be like and how are you feeling ahead of the big competition?
58
We're quite confident this year, we've been doing really well.
59
Everyone's getting ready to rehearse now so we're just all excited running on and joining them at the moment.
60
And I believe that you are the reigning champions and you have been for many years.
61
Yeah we've been for many years, been for the last three years.
62
And what's it like being in a steel pan band Marvin?
63
How long have you been rehearsing for this competition?
64
How much of a part of your life is it?
65
What does it bring you?
66
We've been rehearsing for two to three months technically.
67
It's part of our family, like These are like some of them, like I've got pan kids, my daughter gets really mad at me when I say that because there's kids here that are as young as 10,
68
there's adults here as old as 60.
69
We've got a range of people here.
70
We sit down, we eat together, we're family, you know?
71
And so tomorrow when you face Panorama, you go out there united.
72
Is there a lot of competition with the other bands?
73
Yeah, there's a big strong rivalry, but at the same time a lot of them are friends, like, you know, at the same time.
74
It's just healthy rivalry.
75
Healthy rivalry, indeed.
76
Well, I will let you get on with your rehearsal.
77
OK, thank you very much.
78
We will be hearing from Mangrove Band a little bit later on in the programme.
79
But for now, from a very noisy All Saints road, it's back to you, Riz.
80
Thanks very much, Alice.
81
More from you later.
82
Now, the theme of this year's carnival is respect, honoring the ancestors.
83
And earlier today, there was a special moment recognizing the generation of Caribbean Londoners who helped shape Notting Hill Carnival.
84
Five, four, three, two, one.
85
This plaque is one of many that recognise and celebrate the contributions
86
and achievements of our people and the people who've built this community.
87
That is about history.
88
It is about recognition of all the pioneers who've contributed to this thing we call Carnival in Notting Hill.
89
60 years.
90
Give it a round of applause.
91
Well, one of the people who made that happen is Dr Jack Bueller from the Nubian Jack Community Trust.
92
Really good to have you here.
93
What does it mean to see the names of those 70 pioneers who've helped shape this famous event?
94
I think it's very important because Carnival is so important, it's contributed so much to diverse Britain, particularly from the post-war years.
95
And we've developed it into a phenomenon and it's only right that these people who've made this phenomenon be recognised.
96
And I'm so honoured that we are doing that with the largest blue plaque in the world.
97
And it coincides with 70 years since London Transport began recruiting workers from the Caribbean to help build our city's network.
98
So there are Londoners whose parents or grandparents were a key part of all of this.
99
Absolutely and not only are London transport people on the plaque
100
but you also have people from the NHS and it's also important that we recognise there are so many disciplines,
101
so many occupations that people have had that has contributed so much to this wonderful, wonderful, glorious event that we call Carnival.
102
Yeah, we see lots of movement going on here behind us.
103
I said this is really the heart of Carnival isn't it? of it at Tabernacle
104
so basically Claudia Jones once came here we have a plaque inside to Claudia Jones
105
and the whole route is panned out of different plaques of different people who have contributed to this phenomenon as I say.
106
And given that it is such a significant moment 60 years on this significant anniversary what does carnival mean to you?
107
Well carnival means many things to me it means food it means cuisine it means music it means culture
108
but most of all it means costumes and particularly those who wear the costumes.
109
I won't elaborate too much but I love the way the costumes are exhibited every year, particularly by the women of course.
110
And it has changed.
111
Carnival has changed over the years.
112
Do you think, given that this year's theme is Respect the Ancestors, do you think enough people know about the history of Carnival?
113
Well, clearly they don't, which is why we've decided to put this plaque up.
114
So the evolution of Carnival has become, if you like, a food fest, a jump-up fest, a great time for people to have a great I love the smell of jerk chicken.
115
But more importantly, it's important that these pioneers that brought this wonderful spiritual festival is recognised and are recognised.
116
And that's why we're doing this wonderful, phenomenal plaque, which is, of course, I have to keep coming back, the largest in the universe.
117
Was it hard to pick 70 people who were pioneers?
118
It's extremely controversial and I'll tell you now there are 69 names on the plaque
119
because the 70th name is to all those who have not been named and that was my get out clause.
120
So it was extremely difficult and I'm still getting controversy about it even now.
121
But at least, you know, it's the first of many and to build upon that we're going to have to do an even bigger, larger plaque in the world.
122
It doesn't stop.
123
Jack Bueller, thank you for joining us here on BBC London.
124
Really good to speak to you and have a wonderful carnival.
125
Thank you, you too.
126
Thank you very much.
127
Dr Jack Bueller.
128
Well, Carnival wouldn't be Carnival, would it, without the costumes.
129
And a little later, we're going to talk about the context and the role that they play with a fashion historian.
130
We're also going to have all the important information you need if you're coming this weekend.
131
But don't worry, you can also experience it from home, from your mobile or your smart speaker on BBC Radio London.
132
That's on Bank Holiday Monday.
133
I'll be back a little later, but right now, let's get some of the day's other news with Victoria in the studio.
134
Hello there.
135
Thanks, Riz.
136
A large fire close to Wembley Stadium has caused significant disruption to tube and rail services today.
137
125 firefighters have been tackling the blaze at a waste facility since this morning.
138
Jim Weeble has more.
139
Well fire service was called at around 11.25 this morning to an industrial estate on Hannah Close in Kneesden.
140
Some 25 fire engines were tackling it at its height and thick smoke was seen for miles around west London.
141
Black smoke billowing hundreds of feet into the air.
142
In fact, local residents close by were told to keep their windows closed because of these toxic fumes.
143
Now, where this fire happened was next to a busy set of rail and tube lines, and it's had a serious impact today.
144
The Metropolitan Line has been suspended for most of the day.
145
The Jubilee Line has been seriously affected as well.
146
And here at Marlebone Station, there have been severe delays and cancellations.
147
Now, there's been a handful of these types of fires over the summer, notably, in fact, in Deptford in south-east London,
148
where, at a waste and recycling plant there, there were two significant fires on separate occasions.
149
Now, this particular fire is now under control.
150
There's no reports of any injuries.
151
But if you are travelling out towards west London, the advice is check before you travel.
152
and we will their passengers at gatwick airport have once again
153
been left without water after a mains pipe burst in a nearby field water supplies at both terminals are affected
154
and ses water are carrying out repairs many of the bathroom facilities are closed
155
and some restaurants bars and cafes are not operating in july both terminals lost running water for several hours
156
detectives investigating a rape in covent garden last weekend have released
157
cctv images of a man they want to speak to a
158
woman in her 20s was approached by a stranger in the early hours of saturday morning
159
and dragged into a doorway police are urging anyone with information to come forward
160
now as the death toll continues to rise following the flash
161
flooding in the himalayan border region people living in London are still trying to make contact with relatives in the affected areas.
162
Officials in Nepal say more than 540 people are known to have died, but hundreds more are unaccounted for.
163
Thomas McGill has been at one restaurant in South London where staff have a personal connection to the tragedy.
164
A candlelit vigil in Edgeware last night for all those caught up in Wednesday's flash floods in Nepal and Tibet.
165
Today another part of London's close Nepalese community came together to do their bit.
166
Staff at Panas restaurant in Blackheath have been offering traditional food
167
to locals to raise money after one of the waiter's family member died in the tragedy.
168
My staff, they are stressed.
169
One of my bartenders, his first cousin, the young guy who was in hydro, he's an engineer.
170
He's not there.
171
I mean, it took him, I took them to find out two days.
172
It's hoped this small gesture can have a big impact for those struggling with what's happened back home.
173
We start raising the money, so we are distributing the food and then helping the rest, how much we can, as much we can.
174
As concerned, Londoners continue to see heartbreaking images of whole communities destroyed.
175
Many here are only too happy to do what they can to help.
176
It's really challenging to watch everything that's going on in the news.
177
Everything I've seen on BBC and the floods, and I've even seen some of our own people, some British citizens have also been caught up in that.
178
I really think it gives us an opportunity to do whatever we can to help.
179
With the death toll continuing to grow and many unaccounted for,
180
Sujan and his team say they will continue to support each other and those back home in the best way they can.
181
Thomas McGill, BBC London.
182
Well, you can, of course, get more on the day's news on our website.
183
But for now, let's go back to Riz in Notting Hill with more on Carnival.
184
Riz.
185
Thank you very much, Victoria.
186
Welcome back to the Community Arts Centre, the tabernacle, the hub of where organising carnival happens,
187
as this weekend marks 60 years of this deeply significant celebration of Caribbean culture.
188
Now, carnival wouldn't be carnival without costumes, and later on we're going to talk about the role that they play with a fashion historian.
189
But first, let's arm you with everything you need to know about carnival and cross over to Alice, not far away, who can tell us.
190
Hello.
191
Hi Riz, I've found some street food, so I'm already set for the evening.
192
But whether you're a first time carnival goer or you're a pro, planning ahead can help you make the most of your weekend.
193
So this is what you need to know before you head out.
194
Everything starts tomorrow, Saturday, and that acts as the curtain raiser.
195
It is, as I mentioned earlier, panorama at the beginning of carnival weekend.
196
and the focus is on the steel pan music and the biggest steel panned competition in the UK.
197
Then on Sunday, that's traditionally the more family-friendly carnival day.
198
There is a children's day parade, and for early risers, you can catch Jouvet, which is a vibrant pre-dawn celebration.
199
Of course, Monday is carnival at its biggest and loudest, and that's the adult parade.
200
It's usually the biggest day, attracting the biggest crowds, Now, you do need tickets for Saturday's Panorama event,
201
but Carnival itself is free on Sunday and Monday.
202
No ticket needed.
203
Now, crucially, getting around.
204
TFL recommends travelling to Carnival via Paddington Station, which is a short walk from the Carnival route.
205
You can follow signs to the walking routes between Paddington and Carnival.
206
There are extensive road closures in place, already actually from this evening, but certainly this bank holiday weekend.
207
And you can see the full list of closures on the Westminster Council and Kensington and Chelsea Council websites.
208
But be warned, public transport is also expected to be very busy, especially at the end of each day.
209
So allow extra time for your journey.
210
Now, organisers want everyone at Carnival to be safe.
211
There will be police officers and stewards along the route, as well as four welfare hubs.
212
Plus a reminder that the mobile signal can be poor.
213
So try and make plans with friends and family before you head out.
214
Finally, our coverage.
215
You can follow Carnival and all the action.
216
Just tune in to BBC Radio London across the whole of Bank Holiday Weekend for live programming.
217
And from a very busy north bit of Notting Hill, back to you, Riz.
218
Yeah, it certainly sounds it, Alice.
219
Thank you very much indeed and you can find that information on the BBC London website as well.
220
Well, let's turn to the spectacularly visual aspect of Carnival, from floats to feathers, from sequins to satin.
221
Months of hard work goes into creating colourful creations.
222
So let's get an insight with the co-creator of Mahogany Costumes.
223
Happy 60th, not in the day!
224
I'm Clarice Landy and today we are in the Methodist Church in Harlsdon for the 60th year of Notting Hill Carnival.
225
Come and see what we've been making for Carnival.
226
So when you look around you can see everything being made.
227
We have our choral team and so So they're drawing and cutting and painting all the coral pieces.
228
We have armbands.
229
These are going to be worn like this on the arms.
230
With this one, Noya, can you glue for me, please?
231
I think it's so impressive to get children in at a very young age, to show them what carnival's about,
232
to let them do the kind of the prep work before we're on the road, showcasing our fantastic work.
233
I think this is like the new generation.
234
The theme this year, we have resources from Africa.
235
We're saying something about how Africa resources the world.
236
One of the key things is gold.
237
60% of the world's gold comes from Africa.
238
So we're making our own gold.
239
And then here, we have two masters.
240
We have a master artist and a student from Nottingham Trent University.
241
Yay!
242
Hi, my name is Pascale.
243
I'm currently working on the structural pieces behind the diamond headpieces.
244
It's my first carnival.
245
I'm so excited that it's the 60th, my first carnival.
246
Hi, I'm Mia.
247
I'm working on one of the headpieces for carnival.
248
It's the cobalt headpiece.
249
So I'm just doing the structure for it, and then it's just going to get covered in gold.
250
It's going to look really cool.
251
It's all the making process, everything is still very much in process, you could see every stage.
252
Well let's pick up with fashion historian Kayleigh Benoit, delighted to have you with us.
253
And can I just say, looking resplendent yourself, let me first ask you,
254
how much has fashion and costume played made in shaping the identity and legacy of Carnival?
255
Fashion is very important because it's the visual history.
256
So you're wearing the history and then you get to see the blend of Caribbean heritage
257
that was passed down by the Windrush generation and the subsequent generations.
258
And then seeing that blend with Black British culture.
259
So what you wear on the road is extremely important.
260
And for anyone not familiar with Carnival, the concept of mass and the types, this powerful language of history and celebration.
261
Tell us more about it.
262
A lot of people don't actually know that mass is short for masquerade.
263
So masquerade is very much a performance.
264
So you are embodying a character when you're wearing the costume.
265
A lot of people don't know as well that with the band, there is a judging point on the road.
266
So it's almost like a competition to see who can get the best costume.
267
So the craftsmanship that goes behind every single costume is very, very intricate and it's months of hard work.
268
Yeah, as we saw there with mahogany costumes, just one of the many.
269
And we know that this year's theme is respect, honouring the ancestors.
270
And that is probably true for the fashion and the style as well.
271
Absolutely, because so many people just see the spectacle, but it's very important to understand and appreciate the specialist knowledge,
272
the designers who take months of work behind the scenes, the designers, the costume makers, the seamstresses, the feather makers,
273
and then also the history behind it because it's very colourful, it's joyful, but we also must remember the history that's behind it.
274
And the reason why it's colourful is
275
because of the history behind the Windrush generation and the racial hostility that they had when they came here to Britain.
276
And do you think there's going to be more focus on that this year, given the theme?
277
Definitely.
278
I think I had an interesting statistic
279
that 90% of people didn't know who Kelso Court trainers
280
so I think people really have to take accountability of learning the history
281
because when you know the history you can appreciate the spectacle of the costumes even more
282
and people can go and look
283
that up right now um on a personal note Kayleigh um
284
what does carnival mean to you not just as a fashion historian
285
but as a Londoner yeah so I mean this I mean I play
286
and I take part in mass grade and this will be my fifth consecutive year so being on the road,
287
being part of that collective identity at the time when communities needed much more than ever is extremely important to me.
288
Being on the road is such an energy so I really love it.
289
Yeah I can sort of see it in your face, you're almost sort of lifting out with is that is that the feeling?
290
Yeah and it's something that's very inscribable, only the people on the road will understand because you're there and yeah you have the dirty mass on Sunday,
291
the pretty mass on Monday, so everything has a theme and you really get to appreciate it.
292
Well we really appreciate you coming to speak to us and sharing that knowledge.
293
Fashion historian Kayleigh Benoit, have a wonderful time.
294
Thank you very much.
295
Well whatever you're up to this weekend whether it's carnival or not, we all need the weather forecast.
296
Here is Jen.
297
Hello there, good evening.
298
A bank holiday just around the corner can only mean one thing
299
and that is that we have some wet weather in the forecast.
300
The weekend is going to start off off on a fairly breezy note with some heavy showers
301
but there will be some brighter spells especially as we head towards Monday.
302
Now if you are heading off to Carnival this weekend, Saturday we'll see some outbreaks of rain through much of the day, perhaps drier in the afternoon.
303
Sunday will start off dry but then there'll be some thundery showers moving in later on in the day.
304
Bank holiday Monday currently looking like the best day, mostly dry with some sunny spells.
305
All down to these areas of low pressure moving in, throwing these weather fronts in our direction and the squeeze on the isobars indicating
306
that it is going to be turning a little bit breezy as well.
307
This is what things look like as we head through this evening and overnight then.
308
Lots of dry weather but there will be a few heavy thundery showers moving through.
309
The breeze picking up from the southwest as we head through the night and temperatures down to 14 to 16 degrees.
310
Now first thing Saturday morning it will start off dry.
311
Not for long though you can see one of those weather
312
fronts moving through bringing some outbreaks of quite heavy showery rain
313
the possibility of some thunder in there as well temperatures up to 20 degrees Celsius
314
but perhaps later in the afternoon on Saturday you might well get something a little bit drier and brighter
315
overnight into Sunday the showers will tend to clear away there
316
will be some clear spells the temperature overnight down to between around 13
317
and 15 degrees for Sunday we start the day off with
318
quite a bit of dry weather cloud first of all
319
but we'll see some sunshine during the morning and into the early part of the afternoon as well.
320
It's not looking like until later in the day that we start to see this showery rain moving in.
321
Some of that could be thundery, but hopefully it will stay clear through much of daylight hours.
322
Then as we head into Bank Holiday Monday, looking like the best day of the three over the course of the weekend.
323
It should be mostly dry.
324
There will be some sunny spells.
325
Still quite breezy, but with a top temperature of 22 degrees.
326
Thanks to Jen for that all-important weather forecast.
327
And that is it from us ahead of, yes, a big carnival weekend,
328
but also a significant one as it marks its 60th anniversary of the history and celebration of Caribbean culture.
329
BBC London will be covering the sights, the sounds and the stories across radio, TV and online.
330
There's a special film on the BBC London YouTube as well that really is worth watching.
331
We leave you this evening with the sound of Carnival and the Mangrove Mass Band gearing up for a special weekend.
332
From all of us on the team, whatever you're doing, enjoy.
333
Take care.
334
Bye-bye.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
