Carnival on after funding found - but future still uncertain

Notting Hill Carnival is now set to go ahead after nearly £1m of extra funding has been provided.

This year's event, to be held over the August bank holiday weekend in west London, had been at risk after a review had identified "critical public safety concerns" around crowd safety that needed additional funding.

City Hall, and the councils of Royal Borough Of Kensington & Chelsea and City of Westminster, have now provided that extra money.

But the future is still very much uncertain, as BBC London's Political Editor Karl Mercer has been explaining to Aaron Paul.
