London is still a global hub for the maritime industry, despite a decline | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
in Britain's merchant navy and shipbuilding since the fifties. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
in Britain's merchant navy and a new conference starting in the | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
capital today aims to showcase London's shipping credentials to the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
world. Let's get more from Alex Bushill, who's on board the HMS | :09:31. | :09:40. | |

Essex you can see for yourself. Everything is on a massive scale. | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Which is why the maritime industry is worth so much to the London | :10:13. | :10:25. | |
even more. In the 1940s, we have the Londoners employed. It once meant | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
even more. In the 1940s, we have the largest merchant Navy. A third of | :10:31. | :10:36. | |

The maritime sector, law, insurance, ship—breaking, finance, education, | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
the ship owner and ship operator needs these. That has been growing | :11:20. | :11:25. | |

We may not build ships like we used inshore, and source them like nobody | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
All without getting our feet wet. Plans have been unveiled to move the | :12:21. | :12:30. | |

might be a hard sell. Judging by some of the reactions today. No | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
matter what they build it won't compare. This wasn't built for | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
skateboarding. Why would that not be the same out there? It hasn't got | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
the history behind it. It is a street skate spot. If they get rid | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
of this, we will have to go to the streets around offices. There's | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
of this, we will have to go to the more consultation before the plans | :14:27. | :14:30. | |

his life. Paul Stewart from Fulham defied doctors who thought he would | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
never walk again. He took his first steps with the aid of crutches last | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
year. And that's what inspired the 32—year—old to train for what would | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
