A mother from Berkshire whose son died just before his second birthday | :04:01. | :04:15. | |
is calling for paid bereavement leave to be made a legal right. | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
is calling for paid bereavement drowning in a garden pond. His | :04:23. | :04:25. | |

in time, Jack had opened the back door, wandered off, climbed a wall | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
and fell into the garden pond. Losing Jack was just beginning of | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
the project. The family soon find there was barely any time to grieve | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
before they were forced back to work. Jack's father was told he | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
before they were forced back to to go back to work after five days. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
And five days after the death of a child, we had not even buried him. | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
How can we possibly go back to work? The lack of time to grieve, Lucy | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
believes, caused the duration of her marriage, a fate that befalls nine | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
out of ten couples who lose a child. Other campaigners say that too | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
often, society fails to recognise the depth of the drama involved | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
often, society fails to recognise this time of tragedy. When someone | :05:44. | :05:47. | |

if they need to take time off to terms with their own grave, they | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
will not be risking their job or their income to do so. I think that | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
is the very basic right that people should expect. David Cameron lost | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
his son tragically and they asked him, did you take enough time of? He | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
said no. Two weeks. Some people don't even have the tragedy —— | :06:39. | :06:46. | |

can bring a lost child back but Jack's family said that proper time | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
to grieve is the least that society can do to help families struck a | :06:56. | :06:59. | |

Labour MPs. If it gets the go ahead, sewerage systems in the world, | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
designed to prevent effluent from ending up in the Thames. Today, | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
planning officials started the lengthy process of looking at the | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
proposals for the £4 billion scheme, which has already been met with | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
widespread opposition. Let's get more from Nick Beake, who is by | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
widespread opposition. Let's get river now. They call it the super | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
sewer with good reason, it will snake through 14 different London | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
people and businesses along the snake through 14 different London | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
and every one of Thames water 's 14 million customers would see their | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
bills go up to pay for this. Critics say it is something which will be | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
far too expensive, it will damage the environment but supporters say | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
metres below the city and you find the slimiest of subterranean scenes. | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
The Victorians built the and 50 years ago to drain water from the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
sewage from half a million homes and years ago to drain water from the | :08:30. | :08:44. | |
sewage from half a million homes and not consistent for a world leading | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
city to be using its river as an open sewer. We need to build a | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
project that will intercept that and take it to East London for treatment | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
before it is discharged into the river. The so—called super sewer | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
would run for 15 miles from Acton and Hammersmith in the West to new | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
in the East. Passing through 14 London boroughs. It means digging | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
down 200 feet and setting up 24 construction sites. It would take | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
ten years at a cost of 4.2 young pounds. It would create the biggest | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
network of its kind in the northern hemisphere. And some living along | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
the path are worried. The amount of waste that will come out from this | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
tunnel would be astronomical dustup we want a clean river and this has | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
been proven to be ineffective so what we know is a promising to build | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Champions and critics of the Thames Tunnel came to the Barbican Centre. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
It'll be here that experts from Tunnel came to the Barbican Centre. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
planning Inspectorate will consider the 50,000 page application. 37 | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
different group have signed up to have their say. Building the tunnel | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
will mean that 14 million customers will eventually pay up to £80 more | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
each year. The former water rail glitters says that is not good value | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
for money. My problem is this is just quite unnecessarily expensive. | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
It could be done, and studies have shown this, but the benefits could | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
Environmentalists say that the so—called living Walls could be | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Environmentalists say that the answer, trapping rainwater before it | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
gets any chance to get into the sewers. Thames water says its tunnel | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
the Thames and building it would is the only to stop sewage entering | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
the Thames and building it would create 9000 jobs. The planning | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Inspectorate will have six months to it will go away to decide whether or | :10:41. | :10:47. | |

legal action against closures in their area. Here's Karl Mercer. | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
legal action against closures in is what democracy looks like. At | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
authority met again to decide if cuts should be made to the service. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
This not have been talking about the issue for months. Firefighters have | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
been demonstrating against the plans for just as long. They started in | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
January, they rallied in July. Today, it was decision day. It is | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
not the buildings ever fight fires, it is firefighters. In some parts of | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
London, the result of these closures means fire engines will take minutes | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
longer to arrive and that will lead to danger for Londoners. In the | :11:51. | :11:57. | |

made it clear they don't want these cuts. Betty 4% of the people who | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
responded said they don't want these cuts and these closures and they | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
don't want the firefighters to go. I completely understand the proposals | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
which suggest the closure of fire stations causes concern, it worries | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
