Welcome to BBC London with me, Asad Ahmad.
2
Coming up on the programme, nearly half of all mobile phones stolen in London last year passed through their smuggling operation.
3
Three men are today jailed for trafficking the stolen phones.
4
They were actually responsible for what we think is 40 ,000 mobile phones being stolen here in London
5
and exported out of the UK into countries such as China and North Africa.
6
The case forms part of the Met's largest ever operation targeting mobile phone theft.
7
Also on the programme, the Prime Minister tells this programme the criminal justice system needs
8
to change after the case of this man who was arrested
9
for taking thousands of pictures of children opposite his home and was bailed and allowed to return there. Could six become seven?
10
Your chance to have your say on a possible new overground line in West London.
11
And join me for a tour of the Cloud House in Camden,
12
where I'll be finding out what it's like to live in what's been described as London's most colourful and bold new home.
13
Good evening.
14
Three members of one of the country's largest mobile phone smuggling
15
gangs have been sentenced to a combined total of 25 years in prison.
16
The men, all from London, ran a multi -million pound trafficking operation sending thousands of stolen phones to China.
17
Nearly half the phones stolen in London last year are thought to have passed through the operation involving Amir Khadikhel,
18
Ismat Meachel and Mansour Mohamed.
19
Here's our Home Affairs correspondent, Sonia Jessop.
20
It all started with one stolen phone.
21
The victim had tracked it down to a warehouse near Heathrow.
22
The phone was ringing in the package and the victim had run the phone.
23
We then found, obviously, the thousand mobile phones and that was the starting point of what exploded into a huge investigation.
24
These are all high -end pro models.
25
Police discovered all the phones were stolen and being shipped to Hong Kong.
26
Specialist detectives intercepted further shipments.
27
and forensic tests led them to arrest two men inside their car officers found dozens of phones
28
and about 2 000 other devices at properties linked to them
29
police believe the group was responsible for around 40 of all phones being stolen in london at
30
that time it transpired they were actually responsible for what we
31
think is 40 000 mobile phones being stolen here in london
32
and exported out of the UK into countries such as China and North Africa.
33
So this was a significant operation, the likes of which we hadn't seen before.
34
Today, Amir Mohamed Kadikel, an Afghan asylum seeker who was jailed for nine and a half years,
35
and Ismat Mayakel for nine years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to handle stolen goods
36
and being part of an organised crime group.
37
A third man, Mansour Mohamed, was jailed for six and a half years for his lesser role in packaging up the phones
38
and passing them up the chain.
39
The judge said this was offending on an enormous scale.
40
The financial cost running into many millions of pounds, but also the personal cost incalculable.
41
He said victims may be left in great fear after having their mobile phones stolen in the street.
42
The Met's been using electric bikes and drones to target suspected phone snatchers.
43
It says it's helping police make pursuits and more arrests.
44
Get on the floor!
45
Do not move!
46
And they have made progress.
47
The number of recorded mobile phone thefts and robberies has fallen by 20 % from last year, though that's still more than 62 ,000 offences.
48
In Westminster, week on week, we've seen a 50 % reduction to where we were last year, but it's still too much.
49
And this is where we need assistance from industry because this cannot be resolved by arrests and prosecutions.
50
And we need assistance with industry to design this problem out.
51
Police say gangs are recruiting children as phone snatchers over social media, paying hundreds of pounds for each device stolen.
52
The Met says this has been one of its biggest ever operations targeting phone theft and uncovers the organised crime behind it,
53
from street thieves to handlers to exporters.
54
Sonia Jessop, BBC London.
55
This is BBC London.
56
We're here until seven and this is what's still to come on the programme.
57
I'm in Hounslow where there are plans to run a new overground line all the way from here to Hendon.
58
TfL now wants to know what Londoners think.
59
The Prime Minister has said the decision to bail a sex
60
offender who was repeatedly allowed to return home overlooking the playground he targeted must be reviewed.
61
Zafir Dogan was jailed yesterday after he was convicted of taking thousands of pictures of women and girls.
62
Our correspondent Susanna Mendonso has been looking into this case.
63
Susanna.
64
Yes, this again raises concerns about courts releasing potentially dangerous offenders on bail and the impact that that's having on victims.
65
As you say, Zafar Dogan, 32 -year -old from Enfield, he used AI to make indecent images of children who he had photographed near his home.
66
Now, he'd been released on bail after having been arrested and charged.
67
That was despite protests from the Metropolitan Police and prosecutors who didn't want him to be released on bail.
68
One of the families who were his victims ended up moving out because they were afraid to stay there.
69
Now, yesterday, the Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley actually went to court to voice his frustration.
70
He said that dangerous and prolific offenders are routinely being granted bail.
71
Now, our political editor, Karl Mercer, has been speaking to the Prime Minister Andy Burnham today, ahead of Labour's conference, which starts tomorrow, and he asked him about this issue.
72
He certainly has a point, and he needs to be heard.
73
It's obviously a matter for the courts when these decisions are made, but obviously they need to hear the voice of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
74
I think this case, particular case, is disturbing and I would ask those working across the criminal justice system to look at it
75
and to make any necessary changes as a result.
76
Does it give you pause for thought about the prisoner release which is coming up in the next couple of weeks?
77
Because the Commissioner has been very clear that his officers face extreme demands
78
and are overstretched and he expects that to get worse when more people are released.
79
They will have to follow more people around London.
80
Well, I've shown that willingness to pause and give thought to this whole issue.
81
I did that from day one when I came in as Prime Minister, and the early release scheme is significantly different today than what it was when I came into office,
82
and it was partly the voice of the Commissioner that I heard across the summer.
83
He pressed me to go further, and I did go further.
84
And he's still very concerned about what it means for his officers, though?
85
Well, so am I.
86
You know, this is not an ideal situation.
87
The failure to build prison places over a number of years has led to this unacceptable situation.
88
Yeah, and Susanna, this is part of a wider problem, isn't it?
89
Yeah, we know that early prisoner release has really been upsetting victims.
90
Also, the shortage of prison places is having an impact in terms of the pressure on the criminal justice system.
91
There's the court delays.
92
Now, in London, if we look at court backlogs, that rose, according to new data, by 14 % last year there are more than 22 ,000 open cases.
93
Now, the Met Commissioner is becoming increasingly frustrated about all of this.
94
Earlier this month, he spoke to the London Policing Board.
95
He raised another case, that of Simon Levy, who people may remember was a sex offender who murdered two women and was repeatedly released on bail.
96
Now, the Met Commissioner said that while the police have made mistakes there, he also pointed to the bail decisions that have been made.
97
Now, we've been speaking today to London's Victims Commissioner, Andrea Simon, about this case today and also other cases
98
and she says it's one crisis after another and there needs to be change.
99
This case has parallels with the serial sex offender
100
and murderer Simon Levy because in that case you saw justice agencies
101
and the courts all failing to respond properly to the risk
102
that he posed and he was also bailed and allowed to continue his offending.
103
That's why I think the government needs to commit to a multi -agency review to understand the failings
104
that are sitting across the criminal justice system, from police to prosecutors and to courts.
105
And I think what we're going to see, certainly in terms of the government, is more pressure for them to actually give the criminal justice system the resources
106
that it needs to resolve this issue and others within the criminal justice system.
107
We'll see what happens, Susanna Mendonso.
108
Thank you very much for that.
109
The police watchdog has asked the Metropolitan Police to investigate its contact with Nicholas Brandram, who was found dead at his London home earlier this month.
110
He'd been arrested under suspicion of being the jogger who pushed
111
a woman into the path of a bus during a run on Putney Bridge.
112
When Mr Brandram's family insist he was not the so -called Putney pusher, Victoria Hollins has this report.
113
This is the footage that has led to a police investigation lasting on and off for more than nine years.
114
A jogger pushing a woman into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge in May 2017.
115
The bus driver managed to swerve just in time and the woman was not seriously injured.
116
In June this year, Nicholas Brandram from Chiswick was arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm, but on the 15th of September, he was found dead at his home.
117
Speaking to the BBC last week, his sisters insisted he was innocent.
118
Physically, we, you know, it's out there on the internet what the so -called Putney Pusher looked like.
119
We provided evidence very quickly to show that this did not look like our brother.
120
When someone dies after contact with the police there is a mandatory referral to the police watchdog, that's the IOPC.
121
Now today the IOPC has decided
122
that there are grounds for an investigation by the Met
123
and it says that the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards should conduct that investigation.
124
It has said that the force will need to consider the necessity and proportionality of arrest, what engagement was there with the media it asks,
125
and considerations should be made in relation to Mr Brandram's welfare and the relevant policy.
126
In response to the family's criticism of the Met Police last week, the force said it recognised the strain
127
that being subject to a police investigation could cause and it added that investigations of this nature,
128
particularly those involving complex evidential and forensic work, can take a number of months to complete while officers gather and assess all available evidence.
129
An inquest into Nicholas Branderum's death was opened on Tuesday but has been paused following the IOPC involvement.
130
The Met says its investigation into the Putney Bridge incident remains ongoing.
131
Victoria Hollins, BBC London.
132
Well, time now to take a quick look at what else is making our local news headlines today.
133
A 45 -year -old man, Issa Suleiman, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder over a knife attack during
134
which two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green.
135
He also pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder a Muslim man earlier on the same day in April.
136
Beithullah Gunduz, an East London gang member who was the intended target of a shooting in
137
which a nine -year -old girl was hit in the head by a stray bullet in Dalston, has been jailed for life.
138
Gunduz was found guilty of plotting a separate gun attack a year later.
139
He will serve a minimum of 20 years in prison.
140
Transport for London is setting up its own bus company to run some of London's routes directly.
141
The first service will run between Wilson and Victoria and won't start until next year.
142
Currently, all London bus routes are contracted to privately owned operators.
143
A petition has started to save a nursery school from closure
144
as a result of a Premier League football club wanting to use the land it sits on for training.
145
Crystal Palace Football Club is believed to have bought land near New Beckenham Station, which is also home to Bright Horizons Nursery.
146
It means parents have been given just weeks to find alternative childcare.
147
Tlou Adelie has the story.
148
And some don't open at half seven, they open at eight.
149
And you can't physically get there.
150
It can be extremely hard to secure a suitable nursery place in London.
151
And for these parents, things have just become even harder with the news their Bright
152
Horizons nursery in Newbeckenham is set to close in December with the land it's on to be sold.
153
To suddenly be told
154
that the nursery is closing in two months is just really
155
horrifying in terms of trying to find a replacement nursery place that is feasible for getting her there each day.
156
When I got that letter I was terrified.
157
I was like, how is this going to work?
158
Scenarios running through my mind of having to ask my work for like reduced days
159
or you know and then the implications
160
that would have on our finances there is almost zero availability for nurseries
161
that will take a full day there are places
162
that do until 3pm we will struggle to cover the gap between end of school
163
and end of our working day and it may mean
164
that i will have to drop work or take a long leave of absence in order to look after my daughter.
165
HSBC owns the land which is also home to the new Beckenham Cricket Club and various other sports clubs.
166
It's been bought by Crystal Palace Football Club whose academy complex already borders it.
167
Parents were contacted by Bright Horizons by letter about the sale earlier this month.
168
The nursery group says it recognises that the news may be upsetting
169
and it's committed to working with families through the transition
170
and help them find suitable alternative child care including at Bright Horizons nurseries nearby
171
which may have availability we are hoping to raise awareness
172
but for parents
173
that doesn't go far enough hundreds have signed a petition they want HSBC Crystal Palace Football Club
174
and Bright Horizons to work together to keep the nursery open and longer.
175
We would like essentially the parties to the sale to agree an extension up until at least the summer.
176
It would give the parents an opportunity to find suitable alternative childcare provision
177
and there's a dearth of that within the community and it would just give them that little bit more time.
178
So that's what you want, time?
179
Time, that's it, it's just for our kids.
180
HSBC has told parents it appreciates how disappointing the news is
181
and says it's working with those based at the site to help provide support.
182
For now, though, parents have no choice but to look for alternative childcare
183
while appealing for their much -loved nursery to stay open at least a little longer.
184
Tolua Deo Yei, BBC London.
185
We've got an update on that report
186
because the nursery was in touch just a short time ago
187
to say they've had constructive conversations with Crystal Palace regarding the possibility of the nursery remaining open until at least summer 2027.
188
A further update is expected in a few days' time.
189
Now, it's nearly 20 years since the London Overground officially launched, becoming, as Mayor of London at the time,
190
Boris Johnson described, as the M25 of rail.
191
The six lines which make it have been a huge success and there could be another to come.
192
Londoners are being asked for their views.
193
Leila Hayes is in Hounslow, which would form part of a new line.
194
Leila.
195
Yes, I'm at Hounslow train station, which is one of the stations that would be on the new overground service known as the West London Orbital.
196
Now, it would run four trains an hour from here through West London up into North London all the way to Hendon.
197
And it would mean many people would no longer have to travel into central london
198
and then back out again it would be built mostly on existing railway lines
199
but with four new stations added
200
and tfl say it could create around 25 000 new homes
201
and around 11 and a half thousand jobs the only problem is
202
that it doesn't have funding yet
203
so earlier i asked tfl how much it would all cost
204
so we've estimated costs around eight to nine hundred million that's
205
if you were to build it pretty much now with inflation
206
we're looking at somewhere around 1 .2 to 1 .3 billion we have to consult with the public
207
and that's what we're doing now we will do several consultations
208
along the way we would submit a powers application towards the end of sort of 2028
209
and then we could start construction in 2031 subject to funding it's a four -year construction build
210
so we could with a fair win be open in 2035.
211
now tfl say they would pay a third and they hope
212
that the rest of the funding would come from central government from local authorities
213
and even private developers they have now opened a consultation uh to hear what londoners think about the plan
214
and earlier we asked people in hendon what they think to
215
get from hendon where we are right now to hounslow
216
or more areas in west London it doesn't make sense to take a train to Central
217
and then go back down to West.
218
Having to go in and then coming back out significantly increases the journey time and complexities,
219
multiple changes, it just makes it something you tend to avoid.
220
It would be lovely to see this station improve, more or less wherever it goes to, but not quite wherever it goes to.
221
well the plan has already been backed by the west london alliance
222
which represents seven local councils they say it would have a huge economic potential
223
and would connect people all across west london
224
if you want to give your views on this scheme you have until the 18th of november
225
and all the details are on the tfl website leila in house though thanks very much for that.
226
I'm sure lots of people will get in touch.
227
Many thanks.
228
Now it's Friday the 25th of September.
229
This is what's still to come on BBC London.
230
A look inside London's newest music venue, which has a worldwide reputation before it even opens.
231
Two houses have been built in the London borough of Camden to bring joy to their neighbourhood.
232
They're in Gospel Oak and they're hidden behind lots of pink arches.
233
The idea was to show how you can decorate a house on the outside as well as the inside.
234
Thomas McGill went to 20A Vickers Road to take a look.
235
Newona's Cloud House, its pink facade
236
and duck egg blue -coloured windows are all just a hint of why this pair of semi -detached homes are truly unique.
237
Hello.
238
Come in, come in.
239
Lovely to meet you!
240
Thank you very much!
241
Come into our house.
242
Step inside and the bold design choices continue.
243
For Emily, who moved in a month ago, all this is simply an extension of her family's personality.
244
We've never lived in a house that we've built ourselves before, but actually all the stuff in the house is stuff that we've had for years,
245
and we just really like very colourful things.
246
Every floor has its own different identity, and, yeah, I mean, we love it.
247
It's an incredible space to wake up in every day.
248
Designed by architect husband Peter, the form of the building takes inspiration from the church opposite,
249
but its curb appeal comes from a place a little further from home.
250
We bought it about ten years ago, and it was around the time me and Emily were getting married, and we had our honeymoon in Miami,
251
and we both loved the art deco in Miami and so the pink comes from the pink flamingos of Miami, the turquoise sea.
252
From sink taps to door handles and even the kitchen cupboards, every corner of this house is drenched in bright and bold colours.
253
And then the stairway to heaven.
254
And yet it's the private rooftop hideaway overlooking London where Peter enjoys relaxing the most.
255
This is my favourite bit of the house.
256
Oh, wow.
257
It's nice, isn't it?
258
This is the mummy shot, isn't it?
259
Yeah, yes.
260
Absolutely lovely.
261
And you can see the real influences then of the Art Deco, the Miami colours, can't you?
262
Absolutely.
263
We're literally up here every day.
264
We might have a dinner up here or lunch.
265
You put a bit of cold water in the bath and you have a little dip for five, ten minutes.
266
So, an oasis of joy and tranquillity for Peter and Emily,
267
that also has its place firmly on the architectural landscape of London.
268
Thomas McGill, BBC London.
269
Now if BBC London did jazz clubs, this is what it would be like.
270
And if you like jazz, then London has long had one of the most famous jazz clubs in the world which you'll know about in Soho, but now it's getting another one.
271
The famous New York jazz club, Blue Note, is opening in a basement in Covent Garden.
272
And they're opening here because they say London's music scene is flourishing.
273
Alice Bandekravi went to take a look.
274
Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie performing at Ronnie Scott's.
275
London has always been a mecca for the jazz greats
276
and now there's a new kid on the block here in
277
St Martin's Lane preparing to host some of the big contemporary names
278
Robert Glasper is the five -time Grammy award -winning pianist and composer headlining the grand opening of Blue Note.
279
A lot of times
280
when you walk into a jazz club you feel like okay we're paying homage to the history
281
but where is the where's the now you know what i
282
mean now a lot of a lot of the the genre of jazz
283
and the venues of jazz don't pay attention necessarily to the
284
now you feel like you're in a museum a lot of
285
times here you feel like oh we're paying homage to the to to to the legends
286
and to those who are not with us anymore
287
but also we're paying homage to those people by showing the now
288
because the now is
289
because of them it's got a capacity of 280 80 people with a main stage
290
and a soon -to -open B -side room for emerging artists
291
much has been made of the struggle of the hospitality sector in the last few years
292
so is this major club opening a sign
293
that london is turning the tide the music scene here is very vibrant it's um you know jazz in general
294
and jazz adjacent music is flourishing bands like ezra collective
295
and yousef days and And all these great bands and music is coming out of London.
296
And we see it by booking all these different artists in our other venues around the world.
297
And so it was important for us to have a home base here
298
and help support the scene and help spread the music.
299
The Music Venue Trust says the arrival of Blue Note London shows the strength of that scene.
300
But our world -leading artists don't emerge out of nowhere.
301
They want more investment in the grassroots venues to nurture that talent.
302
and some of it may well be born right here what can audiences expect then in the next
303
few months expect to be uh expect not expect to expect what you are not expecting that's a great
304
Bandu Kharavi, BBC London, in Covent Garden.
305
Robert Gasper improvising there like all good jazz musicians do.
306
OK, let's take a look at the weather forecast.
307
Jennifer, really nice day today, very warm, and yet we're in October next week.
308
Yes, it's been a really pleasant day today and there's going to be plenty of dry, fine and quite warm weather as we head over the weekend.
309
A very good evening to you.
310
Let me show you some of the pictures that we've had in today because it has been a lovely day.
311
Plenty of sunshine across the board.
312
The leaves are just starting to turn a little bit here in Surbiton, getting those oranges, those golden colours coming through.
313
Plenty of blue sky.
314
A similar picture here in Keston.
315
Thank you to our weather watchers for capturing these pictures.
316
We really love to receive them.
317
Now, over the weekend, sunny spells.
318
It is often going to be dry, not entirely.
319
Through the night tonight, we have this cold front moving through.
320
It's going to bring quite a bit of cloud and some outbreaks of rain.
321
Not very much rain at all, but there will be a little bit of it.
322
You can see as we head through the next few hours, the cloud's starting to build.
323
Here's that rain, really not a lot of it.
324
And a lot of that cloud will start to clear its way southwards and eastwards overnight.
325
These are the overnight temperatures, 10 to around 13 degrees Celsius.
326
So if you're up and about first thing tomorrow morning, it might feel a little bit fresh.
327
But otherwise, a pleasant start to the day.
328
Plenty of sunshine once again.
329
And we'll be hanging on to that sunshine throughout the day on Saturday.
330
So if you have any outdoor plans, it should be a lovely day slightly cooler than today 19 to 21 degrees
331
and just a light breeze
332
which would be fairly variable as we head through Saturday night cloud starts to build a little bit once again
333
that will thicken again it should be mostly dry throughout the
334
course of the night Saturday into Sunday a little bit mild
335
at 10 to 13 degrees Celsius now Sunday is a little
336
bit more changeable we'll start the morning off with some bright spells
337
but we will start to see the cloud thickening with some outbreaks of rain into the afternoon.
338
Some uncertainty over the timing of that.
339
Many of us will stay dry throughout the day on Sunday and slightly milder actually, 23 degrees Celsius the temperature on Sunday.
340
And as we head into the start of next week, we are likely to see some outbreaks of rain for a time on Monday.
341
And then by Tuesday, those temperatures going back up again, 25 degrees.
342
Wow, very warm indeed.
343
Thanks very much for that, Jennifer.
344
Well, that's it for For now, Victoria will be here with our late news at 10 .30.
345

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
