  • Pasted to the wall in Gerrard Street, Soho, in London's Chinatown, the Metropolitan Police are appealing for witnesses to help with their investigation of a murder of Vien Xuan Cao, a Chinese immigrant who was murdered in this street after being attacked with a meat cleaver. The implication is that this was a Triad turf war, a territorial dispute between gang members of this secret society. We see the young man's face photocopied to the paperwork, laid over more traditional images of ethnic Chinese and a boxing contest promotional poster. "Can you Help?" reads the Police's appeal and alongside, the same text has been translated into Chinese for locals to read.

  • Gathered on the Docklands Light Railway track, a group of police investigators and health and safety experts stand beneath the devastation and wreckage caused by the IRA’s docklands bomb on 10th February 1996. Office windows have been blown out and shattered glass lies everywhere making these workplaces unusable for many months afterwards. We see the men under the tall buildings looking tiny in comparison to the chaotic aftermath of this enormous explosion the day before. The bombing marked the end of a 17-month IRA ceasefire during which Irish, British and American leaders worked for a political solution to the troubles in Northern Ireland. 2 people were killed in the half-tonne lorry bomb blast which caused an estimated £85 million damage.

  • A woman who was on the premises of the 'ishka' sauna in Holloway looks at material Police Officers have been looking through. 'Ishka' Sauna, Hampden road, Honesey, North London. Scene where a milti million pound vice ring was centred by Josephine Daly. Josephine Daly was thought to have been an eccentric woman who named her house after a pet dog she had buried in the garden. Rarely seen outdoors or driving her white Rolls-Royce, the bespectacled 64-year-old hardly aroused suspicion in Hornsey. But when detectives began investigating one of the capital's biggest vice rings, they soon discovered "Josie" was not what she seemed. Over more than a decade, the quietly spoken Irish woman had built up a prostitution empire based at three saunas which was earning her an alleged £3-4m a year.<br />
Only one of the premises actually had a sauna. Undercover officers were offered a sex menu after paying a £10 entry fee and ushered into a massage room where they made their excuses and left. A surveillance operation showed 1,500 men were going to the brothels at Aqua Sauna, Lanacombe Sauna, and the Ishka Bath every week.

  • A landscape of facilities and equipment outside the curved wooden roof of the iconic Velodrome during the London 2012 Olympics. The final bill for the 2012 Olympics could be ten times higher than the original estimate, according to an investigation. The predicted cost of the games when London won the bid in 2005 was £2.37billion. That figure has now spiralled to more than £12billion and could reach as much as £24billion, the Sky Sports investigation claims. The Olympics public sector funding package, which covers the building of the venues, security and policing, was upped to around £9.3bn in 2007. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village.

  • Londoners pass-by the London newspaper Evening Standard's latest headline about ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal's suspected poisoning by Russia in southern England, on 6th March 2018, in the capital's financial district, the City of London, England.

The British press have been quick in blaming President Putin's involvement just weeks before his Presidential re-election.

  • Londoners pass-by the London newspaper Evening Standard's latest headline about ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal's suspected poisoning by Russia in southern England, on 6th March 2018, in the capital's financial district, the City of London, England. As both Skripal and a woman believed to be his daughter Ylulia remain in a critical condition at Salisbury hospital where he was taken ill on Sunday 4th, British Counter Terrorism Police have taken over the investigation from the local Wiltshire force. The British press have been quick in blaming President Putin's involvement just weeks before his Presidential re-election.
