BBC One, it is time for the news where you are. Have a very good

:00:00.:00:00.

night. Welcome to BBC London News. A

:00:00.:00:18.

sister's hope to save her brother's life has been blocked by the Home

:00:19.:00:24.

Office. Keisha Rushton planned to travel from Jamaica to give her

:00:25.:00:28.

brother her kidney. She has been told she cannot be trusted to return

:00:29.:00:34.

home and has been refused a visa. A happy moment for Oliver and his

:00:35.:00:38.

grandson, but it is also a tense time in the family home. Oliver is

:00:39.:00:44.

in desperate need of a new kidney. The tests came back showing that the

:00:45.:00:50.

kidneys have failed. What the doctor said to me on the night is that I

:00:51.:00:56.

would need an operation. I would need a transplant. His sister proved

:00:57.:01:00.

to be a perfect match for the transplant and was willing to donate

:01:01.:01:04.

one of her kidneys. It seemed straightforward. But, unlike her

:01:05.:01:08.

brother, she is not a British citizen. She lives in Jamaica and

:01:09.:01:13.

was refused entry into Britain on the grounds she might not return

:01:14.:01:17.

home after the operation. Disapointed is not even the word to

:01:18.:01:23.

use! It is an opportunity for me to go back out there and get back out

:01:24.:01:27.

there into the working world. With seven children, a sick mother and

:01:28.:01:32.

fiance back in Jamaica, Oliver's sister says she has no desire to

:01:33.:01:37.

stay in the UK. It is surprising. I love my brother. I have made up my

:01:38.:01:43.

mind for him to have life. This is a very exceptional case and a man's

:01:44.:01:48.

life may depend on it. We cannot let the current harsh climate on

:01:49.:01:53.

immigration let us make harsh of decisions. The Home Office considers

:01:54.:01:59.

all decisions on merit, including those with compassionate and

:02:00.:02:03.

compelling circumstances. It said her visa was denied because she

:02:04.:02:07.

could not give enough evidence to prove she could return home to

:02:08.:02:12.

Jamaica. Before his illness he was a plumber. He has been inyaubl to work

:02:13.:02:18.

for the last `` inable to work for the last three years. He hopes the

:02:19.:02:23.

authorities could speed up the process by giving his sister a visa.

:02:24.:02:29.

A poster showing Prince Charles gagged has been sensored by the

:02:30.:02:34.

company responsible for advertising on London Underground. This is the

:02:35.:02:37.

original image, which has been used to promote a play about the Royal

:02:38.:02:40.

Family at the Almeida Theatre. This is the pixellated version on the

:02:41.:02:45.

underground. The advertising company did not comment. Transport for

:02:46.:02:52.

London has described the actions as a little over enthusiastic. 600

:02:53.:03:02.

canoeists finished a race down the Thames. It has defeated Marines and

:03:03.:03:10.

Olympic medallists. This morning those on Westminster Bridge would

:03:11.:03:14.

have witnessed one of the toughest events in the world. They are fed on

:03:15.:03:21.

the way. They don't stop forests. They go through the night. No sleep,

:03:22.:03:28.

no rest all. The supporters have been up all night following them

:03:29.:03:32.

from lock to lock. After one of the wettest winters on record made

:03:33.:03:36.

training harder, as one family waiting for their mum explained. It

:03:37.:03:43.

is a bitumenal. It is great. `` it is a bitumenal. It is great. What do

:03:44.:03:48.

you make of this? I am very proud of her. The winners made it in after 17

:03:49.:03:55.

hours. Which bit hurts My hands. I have blisters all over them.

:03:56.:04:03.

Only 80% of those who start, finish this race. It was doubly reassuring

:04:04.:04:07.

when one particular canoe came in. This is a once in a lifetime for me.

:04:08.:04:12.

That's it. I am never doing it again. It is good to have the medal.

:04:13.:04:16.

That's all. We are so proud of you! With more

:04:17.:04:21.
