Met traffic police are being issued with Body Worn Video (BWV) cameras - the largest roll-out of cameras in the force to date.

Around 900 officers in Alperton, Chadwell Heath, Catford and Merton have been issued with the cameras and another 950 Safer Transport Team officers will receive devises over the summer.

To date 22 boroughs have been issued with BWVs.

All recorded footage from BWV is subject to legal safeguards and guidance.

The footage from the Axon Body Camera is automatically uploaded to secure servers once the device has been docked, and flagged for use as evidence at court or other proceedings.

Since September 2016, officers have recorded over 371,650 videos of which 199,822 have auto deleted from the system as per the MPS policy on retention of footage.

Video not retained as evidence or for a policing purpose is automatically deleted within 31 days.

If the public wish to view footage taken of them they can request, in writing, to obtain it under freedom of information and data protection laws.

This request must be made within 31 days, unless it has been marked as policing evidence and therefore retained.

Judges in the European Court of Human Rights are carrying out an "initial analysis" in the case of a terminally-ill baby who has been at the centre of a high-profile legal battle in England.

Chris Gard and Connie Yates want their 10-month-old son Charlie Gard, who suffers from a rare genetic condition and has brain damage, to undergo a therapy trial in America.

Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, where Charlie is being cared for, say therapy proposed by a doctor in the US is experimental and will not help.

They say life support treatment should stop. Charlie's parents hope that judges in Strasbourg, France, will come to their aid after losing battles in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in London.

Their lawyers have file detailed written arguments and a spokeswoman for the Strasbourg court says the case is at an "initial analysis" stage. Supreme Court justices in London have said Great Ormond Street specialists should keep providing life-support treatment until midnight on 10 July to give European court judges time to consider the case.

Cladding is being removed from tower blocks in Woodford Green in wake of the Grenfell disaster., external

Redbridge Council has announced the cladding on the Orchard Estate off Broadmead Road will be upgraded "as a matter of urgency" after tests raised questions about residents' safety.

The council was one of the first in the country to carry out fire assessments across its 18 high-rise buildings in wake of the blaze at Grenfell Tower in west London on June 14.

No trace of aluminium composite material, believed to be the reason the Grenfell flames spread so quickly, has been found on any Redbridge tower blocks.

The family of a five-year-old killed in the Grenfell Tower blaze have said they will forever miss their "kind, energetic, generous little boy".

Isaac Paulos, who lived with his family on the 18th floor, was found on the 13th, Westminster Coroner's Court was told as the inquest into his death formally opened yesterday.

The boy, who vanished in the dense fumes as his family attempted to escape the blaze, choked to death on fumes from the fire.

He is believed to be one of the youngest victims of the deadly blaze, which claimed at least 79 lives.

In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, his family said: "Isaac our beloved son was taken from us when he was only five years old. "We will all miss our kind, energetic, generous little boy.

"He was such a good boy who was loved by his friends and family.

"We will miss him forever, but we know God is looking after him now and that he is safe in heaven."

Some emergency calls were diverted to Scotland as London call handlers became overwhelmed.

A murder investigation has been launched after a man was fatally stabbed in Islington, north London.

The 29-year-old was found with serious injuries at a property in Westcliffe House, Baxter Road, at about 02:00 yesterday. He later died in hospital.

A 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and she, too, was taken to hospital but her condition is not life threatening.

A 53-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and is in an east London police station being questioned.

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation for the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "At this early stage, we know that a small group of people had gathered in a flat and that in the early hours of Monday morning a man received a number of stab wounds to the upper body.

"We are keen to trace all those present at the flat during the attack. Work is continuing to identify others involved and piece together the events that led up to this brutal murder.”

Sheffield City Council has announced that one element used in the refurbishment of a block of flats in Sheffield failed a government fire safety test.

The block is question is the Hanover Tower in the Broomhall area of the city and comes a week after the council told BBC Radio Sheffield that all cladding was "fire proof".

It's since been confirmed that the council's records were wrong and that someone had put a different material onto the building.

Residents in the flats are worried:

John Cawthorne is part of the tenants association at Hanover and thinks that residents are currently furious:
