22 year old Jacob Koutouan was found guilty of the murder of Jaden Christie after fatally stabbing him in Stockwell.

Police were called at approximately 14:50pm on the 15th September to Stockwell Road, where Jaden was found suffering from knife wounds.

Crews were called to assist the RSPCA at the rescue of a cat stuck around 25ft up a tree on Harcourt Road.

Firefighters pitched a 9 metre ladder and were preparing to go up and get the cat, when it slowly made its own way down.

The cat had apparently been up there more than 48 hours, but seemed fine when it came down.

A search operation's now underway - detective chief inspector Ian Kenward says she'd been at a friend's house.

Over the last ten years, there have been typically less than five known rough sleepers in the district, although it reached a high in 2019 with eight.

James Bascoe-Smith was testing out his new bike when he was randomly attacked on 23 February.

The teenager explained to his mum what happened, and she stayed on the phone until she found him on Henry Road.

He remains critically ill in hospital.

The boy was alone on Tuesday evening, when a man came up to him and offered him a new scooter, then to take him home.

He then went to talk to two older girls, and the boy called his mother.

At that point he made off in a white Transit van.

He’s described as 30-40 years old, white, and wearing a gilet.

On Tuesday afternoon, she was walking along Fordwater Road when a tipper vehicle made a slow pass by her.

The suspect parked up, followed her, then ran on ahead to get behind the bush.

Case rates are continuing to fall dramatically in the area.

A hunt started after they didn’t properly fill out their details when arriving back into the UK.

They were one of six confirmed cases of the mutation.

Doctor Susan Hopkins, from Public Health England, says the search was quick and thorough - eventually ending in Croydon in London.

The authority says that it’s going to be offered on a “voluntary” basis, but details of staff being offered the vaccine will be collected.

At a council meeting, the issue was described as a “legal minefield.”

Wandsworth Council says it will also not be asking staff if they have had it or not.

No damage was caused to the site on Riverside Drive, although a “few bags of waste” were left behind.

Nadine Dorries says "in an ideal world" nurses would be paid more - after the increase was called pitiful and "a slap in the face".

Dame Donna Kinnair, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, says an increase for nurses of around £3.50 a week is "woefully inadequate".

Streatham Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy says “It shows how little this Government has changed & how little it values NHS staff’s huge contribution.”

Tooting Labour MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, who does shifts at St George’s Hospital, criticised the government’s £37bn spend on Test and Trace contracts.

It’ll be staggered, with the full-time return of all secondary school pupils expected after the Easter holidays.

Professor Mark Fielder is a lecturer in Microbiology at Kingston university. 

He’s more positive about schools returning this time round. 

The increased number of visitors to the parks mean that the nests are being trampled on or disturbed by dogs.

The breeding territories are marked by signs, and people are being told to keep dogs on short leads in the areas. 

Green Party leader Jan Doefel brought the motion, saying that the 53 hectares of green belt land due to be released is too much.

Cllr Boughtflower says work to find alternative sites is ongoing, and he wants to protect the green belt.

He also says he’s been subject to abuse for months on social media.

The motion was defeated, with 17 votes against it, eight for, and ten abstentions.

Labour says the plan for England is insulting, while unions claim a nurse would only take home an extra £3.50 a week.

The government says it's fair when many people working in leisure and hospitality face losing their jobs entirely.

Twickenham Lib Dem MP Munira Wison says “It takes quite some front to suggest nurses should be grateful for their 1% pay rise insult because others got a pay freeze”.

She also suggested the government wasted £37bn on a “malfunctioning” test and trace system.

Health minister Nadine Dorries says they're doing their best to honour the NHS:

That’s according to Professor Mark Fielder, head of Medical Microbiology at Kingston University.

He says that until more people have received their vaccines, lockdown restrictions can’t be relaxed.

Their Premier League survival hopes were dented after Josh Maja's equaliser was chalked off for a hand ball in the build up.

Parker says he's fed up with the game being micro-managed.

The authority did a u-turn on the plans at the start of the year after a petition against them attracted mass support.

The borough of Sutton has had the ninth-fastest growth, with an 87% increase year-on-year.

 Sutton has seen over 15,000 positive cases of the virus so far; the equivalent of one person in every five homes.

Epsom and St Helier hospital data also shows there are 137 people in their care, with 453 deaths.

Over 22,000 residents in Sutton over 70 have had their first vaccination, with 28,000 people from other groups aged 16 to 69.

The RSPCA wants any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Luke Williams reports:

Jan Doefel, the leader of the borough’s Green Party, is hoping to replace the conservative John Boughtflower.

Doefel says that the 53 hectares of Green Belt land due to be released in the local plan is too much.

He also says the housing plan has failed to take into account changes due to COVID-19, such as a drop of commuters into London.

He says the current housing target of 603 per year is “overproviding housing that no one wants”, and he wants to focus on the “local need”.

The motion is being co-signed by the United Spelthorne group, including former leader Ian Harvey.

He says that he has identified character traits in Councillor Doefel that he believes are “crucial for a leader to exhibit”.

We’ve contacted current leader John Boughtflower for comment.

It’s after a 19 year old man was stabbed to death in Alpha Road yesterday lunchtime. 

Formal identification is yet to take place but officers say they are confident that the victim is Tai Jordan O’Donnell.

The national charity cares for up to 60 young people with brain injuries at its Surrey site alone.

Dalton Leong is its Chief Executive.

He says he's proud of how the staff and residents have coped over the last 12 months.

The cases numbers have been dropping more and more steeply over the last two weeks.

The aviation industry, which employs around a million people, has been decimated by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Parmjit Dhanda is the Executive Director of Back Heathrow. 

He explains what they were hoping for in today’s budget:

37-year-old Noor Kayani attacked the man in Selkirk Road in broad daylight one Sunday afternoon last June.

In recent weeks, people in the area have had some supply issues.

Anyone who experiences problems should report them on the Thames Water website.

Rishi Sunak will set out the details in his Budget later with  more support for newly self-employed people  also expected.

Wimbledon MP Stephen Hammond says he wants a guarantee that those who became self employed in 2019 can receive support. 

He says “These are the people who will ensure that the creative industries can reopen and thrive, but many have not received support.”

Elsewhere, it's been hinted some taxes could be hiked as part of the announcement.

The chancellor's also going to increase the legal limit on contactless payments to £100.

We already know there'll be schemes to help first-time buyers, the arts and sports, plus extra funding for the vaccine programme.

Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle's not happy that so much of it has been pre-announced.

Labour says the Chancellor's more focused on getting his "moment in the sun" than protecting jobs and livelihoods.

But former Conservative Chancellor Lord Norman Lamont, who represented the now-abolished Kingston-upon-thames constituency from 1972 to 1997, says it's difficult to assess when to end something so unprecedented.

It’s after the GMB union members turned down what they are calling a “derisory pay rise” offer of 1.3%. 

The union says staff have gone above and beyond during the pandemic at a time when many are struggling financially. 

The dates of the strike action are yet to be announced. 

Cllr Mark Brunt, Council Leader, responds to the proposed strike action.

‘This decision from GMB members follows months of discussions about the 2021/22 pay award between Officers and Union representatives from Unison and GMB, as well as the Council’s Staff Association. These discussions form part of our annual budget setting process and are in line with our local bargaining arrangements for pay and conditions.

‘We are disappointed that GMB members - a small proportion of the Council’s staff – have rejected the 1.3% pay award. We stand by the award which, as well as being accepted by our major recognised Union – UNISON, we feel recognises the hard work and dedication of our staff, while also reflecting the financial challenges we face as a council, and the broader national picture. This award is in addition to a one-off payment we made to all employees in August last year as a thank you for their incredible commitment and efforts.

‘We are incredibly proud of our dedicated key workers, who have responded valiantly to a range of challenges throughout this unprecedented year to keep our essential services running and provide support to our communities and local businesses.

‘We would challenge the GMB’s statement that we are ‘racing to the bottom’ in terms of an award. A 1.3% award is one of the highest being offered across the Surrey Local Authorities this year and follows a 2.3% award last year. We face unprecedented times as a Council but stand by how important our staff and their efforts are, hence why we have committed to this award despite many other authorities freezing pay and making cuts.

‘We hope that GMB reconsiders its position and that strike action can still be avoided.

‘I would like to reassure residents that we are putting in place plans to minimise any disruption to our essential services, on which we know they rely, should strike action go ahead.’

Contrary to what GMB have reporting in their own statement and social media posts, the Council remains open to discussions with GMB and has been in contact with ACAS to discuss mediation, with the aim of avoiding strike action.

The Council will update its website and social media channels with details of any service disruption should strike action go ahead.

The No 3rd Runway Coalition is seeking a phased reduction of night flights between 2022 and 2024 and a ban thereafter.

It’s felt the current 6.5 hour suspension is not sufficient because it doesn’t account for noise during landing and before take-off.

But some banks want the government and regulators to phase in the hike from the current 45 pound maximum.

They’re worried about the risk of fraud increasing.

50-year-old Paul Ellingham from Feltham said the materials were for his own use, and he wasn’t a dealer.

Further searches found a large amount of cash, two mobile phones, and drugs hidden in a cast on his arm.

He pleaded guilty to possession and ordered to pay £220 and given a rehabilitation order.

Woking has reported just 103 cases in the past seven days.

He’s made 128 appearances for the cottagers since 2016 but hasn’t appeared this season due to illness.

But some banks want the government and regulators to phase in the hike from the current 45 pound maximum.
