first look at the papers on the BBC News channel. Now on | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. From next month the Metropolitan Police will begin the | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
largest ever trial of body cameras. After the inquest into the fatal | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
shooting of Mark Duggan by police in Tottenham, the Met announced | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
firearms officers would use the cameras. Now the pilot has been | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
expanded to include 500 offhcers in nine boroughs. Our Home Aff`irs | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Correspondent, Guy Smith, h`s been to California where a simil`r scheme | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
has seen a big fall in complaints from the public. Rialto, just | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
outside Los Angeles. A sleepy city where you'd think not much happens. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
But you'd be surprised. This is all being recorded by officers wearing | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
video cameras. You can see `nd hear what's happening. Here in Southern | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
California, they carried out an experiment. All officers in the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Rialto Police Department were equipped with these small c`meras. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
They were told to systematically record every interaction thdy had | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
with the public over a year. The study looked at whether offhcers' | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
behaviour changed when they became aware they were being observed. We | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
had a drop in use of force incidences by about 60% and a | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
decrease in officer complains of about 88%. That's huge. It's quite | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
bit more than we anticipated. And the chief of police is also happy | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
that force isn't used too often here in Rialto. Just showing thehr | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
weapons is usually enough. Dvery uniformed officer in Rialto is | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
assigned one of these right now This is actually a camera. Ht's | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
pretty small, very lightweight. It has the lens, it actually h`s the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
storage system in it and it also has a small microphone and a sm`ll | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
speaker system and it to thd officers know that they are | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
recording. It has changed mx behaviour? It makes you mord aware | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
of what I'm doing and that someone is watching. Do you have a licence | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
on you real quick? Where do you work? OK. The tinted windows is also | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
illegal. Really? Yeah. But today is your lucky day. I'm just gohng to | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
give you a warning. Corporal Gary Cunningham has been a cop a long | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
time. My 25 years. Yes, I fought with people and a lot of sttff and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
now with this, if you're usdd to having it on you, then you're going | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to make sure you do everythhng by the book. It's just like having a | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
camera, an eyewitness. Yet, not everyone is so convinced. Police can | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
use their authority to pull over cars, to enter homes. And when they | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
are filming at the same timd, filming people in vulnerabld | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
situations, that raises real concerns if that video is | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
unregulated. This video is from the officer's point of view. It clearly | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
provides evidence that could later be used in court. It's something | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
London will be testing next month. 500 bobbies on the beat will be | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
using them in nine boroughs. Yet another high`tech tool in the fight | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
against crime. I think that specifically for London, yot're | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
looking at the increase in policing legitimacy. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
London's NHS should cash in on unused buildings and tax fatty foods | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
and fizzy drinks if it wants to improve the capital's health. Those | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
are the early findings of strgeon Lord Darzi, who heads the M`yor s | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
London Health Commission. Otr Political Correspondent Karl Mercer | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
has more. For years, Ara Darzi has been at the centre of the c`pital's | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
health service. First as a surgeon. Then as a health minister in | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
previous Labour governments. Now he's at the centre of the M`yor s | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
plans, tasked with finding new ways of getting the health message across | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
to Londoners. A real pleasure. Thank you. Thank you for having the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
courage to come all this wax. Which will explain this meeting this | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
morning with Camilla Batmangelligh from the charity, the Kids Company. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
A walk, if you like, into the lion's den. What I've ended up havhng to do | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
is absolutely create a parallel health service here. Lord D`rzi was | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
here to share his plans. Ond of them for the NHS to make more of | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
buildings like this. The National Temperance Hospital shut its doors | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
to patients back in 1990. The NHS sold it 16 years later. But it | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
remains empty. Recently sold on again to the Deptartment of | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Transport. There is a huge `mount of estate which I wasn't aware of that | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
is not used or disused. And in actual fact is also costing the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
taxpayer somewhere around 50 or 60 million, so a better use of the | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
estate is one of the import`nt outputs of this commission. They can | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
just give me a couple of million of it and I'll throw my turban up in | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
the air. We have to move from one of our buildings because we ard just | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
sitting in it before it's gdtting demolished. If someone from the NHS | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
gave us a building, it would be amazing. Hello. An ABC digital | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
special report. A big announcement coming from the FDA regarding the | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
safety of trans`fats and partially hydrogenated oils. There's `nother | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
idea Lord Darzi says should be considered and that's cutting down | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
on harmful fats as they've done in America. Even bringing in charges. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
My instinct is we need to look at every intervention including | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
taxation in really tackling this big, big problem, but that's not in | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
my gift to announce. I'm advising the Mayor on what he should be | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
doing. At the moment, London's health commission is taking its | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
first steps. Its final report is due later this year. Just beford the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
weather, a quick reminder tonight's Late Kick`Off has a round up of all | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the Football League action. That's at 11.25pm here on BBC One. That's | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
about it from me. Let's now take a check on the weather with Wdndy | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
Good evening. The warmest d`y of the year yesterday, nearly 21 Cdlsius. | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
And even warmer day this wedk, perhaps. Some other funny things | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
been going on in the air. S`haran dust. If you washed your car at the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
weekend, it was a waste of time A little but of light rain coling into | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
the atmosphere, and quite hhgh pollution today and for the next two | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
days. Very high, in fact, across London. Just something to bdar in | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
mind. We could also see one or two showers. Mainly affecting areas west | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
of London. A rumble of thunder, I suppose. Very mild, 7`10dC. A bit of | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
fog showing up on the map as well which will develop into patches and | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
could be quite dense through rush hour tomorrow so go cautiously. It | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
might take bit of time to shift as well but through the afternoon, I | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
expect there will be some chinks of blue sky, some sunshine getting | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
through with light wind, and temperatures getting up into the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
high teens once again. On the outlook, another day on Wednesday. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Some rain will clear the Some rain will clear the atmosphere | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
on Thursday. More information on all of that. Hello, talk of the | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
day-to-day has been the Saharan dust. If you have no idea what I'm | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
talking about, here is an explanation for you. Essentially, in | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
the last 24-hour is, there has been wind from the Saharan desert, you | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
can get an idea of where it has been coming from, by the motion of the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
cloud on a satellite picture. Low pressure. The wind in the atmosphere | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
picking up some of the dust from the Sahara desert, shunted across | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
western parts of Europe, and all of it on Sunday night into Monday felt | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
the ground for the some us were waiting to find some grubby cars, | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
but that's the closest to desert whether we're going to get, apart | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
from the dust. We've also had other pollutants in the atmosphere. In | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
London and Manchester, pollution is high. You can get our environmental | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
summary online. The skies have been washed out by the rain across | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
western parts of the UK this evening. Heavy rain across parts of | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Wales, thunderstorms, and by the early hours of Tuesday morning, | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
heavy rain transferring to parts of Northern Ireland, northern | :08:44. | :08:44. |
