Good evening. A cyclist who remains in hospital | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
with serious injuries after being run over by a lorry has spoken from | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
his hospital bed about the urgent need to take action to stop more | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
accidents and deaths occurring on our roads. Bart Chan was hit earlier | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
this week and he described the moment of impact to our Transport | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Correspondent, Tom Edwards. Helpless under those wheels. I felt | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
like my body went limp, basically. I was expecting the worst. It was kind | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
of like slow motion, almost. Excruciating pain then followed. I | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
was amazed I was still conscious coming out the other side of it. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Bart Chan knows he's extremely lucky to be alive. On Tuesday night, he | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
says he was hit from behind by a lorry whilst cycling and run over. I | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
have got a shattered left shoulder, ripped cartilage and muscles around | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
there. I have got deep gashes in my elbow and knee. An experienced | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
cyclist, he is speaking out as he wants quicker, urgent action to make | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the roads safer. Compulsory better design. You have got London buses | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
that are well designed for the drivers. They can look around almost | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
360 degrees. I can see them and they can see me. Why can't HGV's have | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
that? Why can't we have segregation all over, especially in built`up | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
areas where there are pedestrians as well? Why not ban HGVs in rush`hour | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
as well, like they have done in Paris? The collision happened here | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
on up the Thames Street. The same evening, another cyclist died at | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
elephant and Castle. Again, it involved and HGV. This year so far, | :01:59. | :02:10. | |
five cyclists have died. Two involved lorries. We have cycle | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
superhighways and we have had people promise money. Infrastructure change | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
takes time but there is no tangible change. If you speak to the | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
cyclist's on the roads, nothing is changing. They are still dangerous. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
It is not happening fast enough because deaths and serious injuries | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
are still going on. The Mayor talks about cycling revolution. I am | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Johnson. City Hall says it is lobbying to change the rules on | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
lorry cabs and is tightening the safety equipment lorries have to use | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and it is spending millions on cycling infrastructure. But, it says | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
there are no short cuts and it wants the improvements to be done | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
properly. There is no doubt there is frustration from cyclists on the | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
lack of visible progress and tomorrow, there will be a big | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
demonstration from them. The last time we had one on such a scale, it | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
was aimed at the mayoral candidates. Tomorrow, it will be aimed at the | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
local council elections. Bart now faces a long period of | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
rehabilitation but at the moment he doesn't know how much his injuries | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
will change his life. He doesn't want anyone to go through the same | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
thing. Fire crews in Kent are tackling a | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
large blaze in Erith tonight. Local people have reported smoke visible | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
from Dartford several miles away. It's believed the fire started in a | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
factory. The mother of a baby who was filmed | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
on a secret camera being mistreated by his nanny has said she'll never | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
get over what's happened. The nanny, who can't be named for legal | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
reasons, was found not guilty of cruelty towards the child. But his | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
mother, who's from Clapham, says she's angry about the way the case | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
has been handled by the Crown Prosecution Service. Sonja Jessup | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
has this report. This is baby Ollie's bedtime, choked | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
on a hidden camera, his nanny appears to handle him roughly. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Later, she is seen throwing him on the mattress and smacking him | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
several times. For his mother, watching the footage was horrifying. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
The most important thing in your life is your children and you know | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
that. You just don't ever expect anything like that to happen. She | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
says the nanny, who can't be named for legal reasons, came with glowing | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
references. But she became concerned about her behaviour. After showing | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
the footage, `` showing the footage to police, she was arrested and | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
charged with mistreatment towards a person under 16 months old. The | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
court said: she denied intending to hurt him and | :04:55. | :05:10. | |
the court heard he did not appear injured. She was found not guilty. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
But on other's mum complained to the crown prosecution service. I have | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
been let down by the system. I have not been given the chance to defend | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
my son, that I was not given the chance as a mum to protect, to be | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
the voice of my son. The CPS says it regrets the family fills it did not | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
communicate clearly with them, saying: It is very, very hard for | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
the whole family. There are times when the family are asleep upstairs | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
and I come downstairs just to cry because I think about what happened | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
to my son in that room. She says she still finds it very | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
hard to watch the footage. He is now happy in a nursery that his mum says | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
she will always be haunted by what happened. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Shops in Westminster didn't have shoppers swarming around them today. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Instead, it was bees. Around 5,000 of them sent pedestrians running for | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
cover but it's not known where they came from. Beekeepers were quickly | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
called in to take them to the roof of Westminster Cathedral. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
That's it from me for tonight, so I'll hand you | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
maybe they all wanted to enjoy the weather from street level. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
It is a great night to be a weatherman and this is on the menu | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
for the weekend ` Sunshine occasionally and the temperature is | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
responding into the low 20s. A warm night to come. Variable cloud, some | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
clear skies, maybe a bit of listing places, but temperatures holding | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
into double figures. A warm start tomorrow. Do not expect clear blue | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
sky tomorrow though. There will be patchy cloud with some occasional | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
sunshine. It will not be wall`to`wall blue sunshine, but | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
temperatures still widely up to the low 20s. Central London could see as | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
high as 2425 degrees. Sunny `` Sunday will be the sunny day. A | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
chance for showers next week but how far do | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
chance for showers next week but how far do you have to go to get proper | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
rain? Thomas has the answer. For days now, we have been | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
advertising some warm weather for the weekend and the forecast remains | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
unchanged. In fact, hot sunshine on the way for many of us and talking | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
about that, I would like to warn you how strong the Sunnis this time of | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
year. In spring, we tend to flock to the sun and burn very easily. It | :08:01. | :08:01. |
