overtake them with a large victory against Italy. That's all from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
stay with us on BBC One. It's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good afternoon. A 70`year`old cyclist has died nearly thrde weeks | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
after he was hit by a car in central London. Michael Mason was rhding on | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Regent Street, just north of Oxford Circus, at the time of the `ccident | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
late last month. The driver stopped at the scene and waited for police | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
to arrive. He wasn't arrestdd, but officers are appealing for witnesses | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
to contact them. Mr Mason is the second cyclist to die this xear | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Jewish and Muslim communitids in four neighbouring boroughs `re | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
working together to try and change the way their local coroner works. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
They're angry at delays which are sometimes faced before a body is | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
released for burial. Both rdligions require the funeral to take place as | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
soon as possible. Jean Mackdnzie reports. I'm missing him at the | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
moment. I still think he's going to walk through that door. Last month, | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
Muhammad learned what it felt like to lose a parent. His father died | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
suddenly after being taken to hospital with breathing problems. He | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
was just full of joy. It took a week for his body to be released for | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
burial. Mohammed said this `dded to his grief. I haven't got a word for | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
it, but what can I say? I don't know why they took a week. OK, d`ys, it's | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
acceptable. According to both the Jewish and Muslim religions, a body | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
should be buried as soon as possible after death. In this corner of North | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
East London, where both comlunities live side`by`side, there is anger | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
that the process is taking so long. They say since a new chief coroner | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
for in a north London was instated last summer, their weekend service | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
has also been cut. As soon `s somebody passes away on Friday, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
immediately I will tell thel that nothing will be done until Londay | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
morning at the earliest. How does that make you feel, having to tell | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
them that? Awful. Because other parts of the country, corondrs are | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
accessible out of hours. Both communities have started a petition | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
to improve the hours they c`n access a coroner. Men met has almost 1 00 | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
signatures. He tells me the Jewish version has more than 4000. The | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
chief coroner here at St Pancras coroners Court says she is `ware of | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
the sense of needs of both these faiths, and she is looking to see | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
which you can do. But she s`ys that to extend opening hours she will | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
need more staff and so more money, and that's down to the local | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
authorities. At Camden Council says it's not that simple. Corondrs have | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
a great deal of autonomy and services are often based on informal | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
agreements. People should not be living in postcode lotteries where | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
one particular consortium provides a better service. The issue should be | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
looked at at a national levdl. There needs to be national changes whether | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
coroner services are consistent It says this way, communities wouldn't | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
be at the mercy of their coroner's wishes or their coffers. A teenager | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
has been charged by police, following a chemical alert hn | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Chelmsford last year. The incident, in October, led to six people being | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
taken ill, and a large quantity of chemicals were discovered at a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
property. That was at New London Road. The 19`year`old has bden | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
charged with producing a Cl`ss B drug and eight counts of possessing | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
drugs. A look at today's weather, `nd it'll | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
be dry, sunny and feeling vdry mild. We can expect a top temperature of | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
17 Celsius. And it should stay dry as we head into tonight. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
That's it for now. I'll be back a little later than usual tonhght with | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
our next news at 7.10pm on BBC One. Until then, you can keep across all | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the latest news and sport on our radio stations, BBC London 84.9 | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
Enjoy the rest of your day. Following on from what has been | :03:51. | :04:12. | |
largely dry and settled week with high pressure in charge, the weekend | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
weather continues on that theme too. Things are looking largely | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
dry, not everywhere, but there will be some warm sunshine on offer, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
particularly through the afternoons. It will be feeling fairly breezy as | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
well. The satellite image shows the cloud has been thinning and breaking | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
this morning, across Northern Ireland, Wales and Northern | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Ireland. In terms of the Six Nations rugby matches today, it should stay | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
dry for all the matches. Cloudy skies in Paris, but it should tend | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
to brighten up as we head through the remainder of the afternoon. This | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
afternoon, quite a | :04:50. | :04:50. |
