The head of the NHS here in the capital -

:00:00.:00:08.

It is the busiest we have ever seen it.

:00:09.:00:14.

You always get the busiest period towards the end of January,

:00:15.:00:16.

It comes amidst today's warnings that the NHS in England may

:00:17.:00:23.

I started to get pretty bad bumps on my head...

:00:24.:00:35.

The untrained barbers giving Londoners much more than a haircut.

:00:36.:00:37.

After Turkey experiences the heaviest snowfall in seven years -

:00:38.:00:41.

we hear from Londoners who were left stranded at the airport for days.

:00:42.:00:51.

It became a case of survival of the fittest. I need three or four eggs a

:00:52.:01:00.

day. The personal trainer who's become

:01:01.:01:01.

an international best-selling As we've been hearing,

:01:02.:01:05.

there are warnings the NHS in England may become unsustainable

:01:06.:01:21.

due to a lack of funding. Meanwhile the Chief Executive of NHS

:01:22.:01:27.

London has told this programme that services are busier

:01:28.:01:30.

than they've ever been. pressure in the coming weeks. We

:01:31.:01:47.

have been behind-the-scenes story have capital is coping.

:01:48.:01:54.

The Chelsea and with Mr is busy, very busy, seeing around 450 people

:01:55.:02:00.

a day, the number they have to admit the hospital is up 13% from last

:02:01.:02:06.

year. We are seeing the highest numbers we have ever seen, more and

:02:07.:02:11.

more people coming through the door. The hospital, like most crossed the

:02:12.:02:17.

capital, is full. The problem, not being able to move patients at quick

:02:18.:02:23.

enough. We're at 100%, every single bed is full, and it's almost a case

:02:24.:02:30.

of one in, one out, as soon as we can discharge somebody, move

:02:31.:02:34.

somebody through the system. What is the NHS doing to tackle the issues?

:02:35.:02:40.

This is part of a solution. Five times a day every day, this team

:02:41.:02:44.

gathered to take the temperature of hospitals across the capital.

:02:45.:02:56.

They have seven adult wards... What level escalation? They check on

:02:57.:03:04.

things like staffing levels, how many patients are waiting to be

:03:05.:03:07.

waiting to be seen and harmony beds waiting to be seen and harmony beds

:03:08.:03:16.

are available. -- how many beds. The focus is often nonemergency

:03:17.:03:19.

is the full picture, the flowing is the full picture, the flowing

:03:20.:03:22.

through the hospital, that's often what we are able to contribute to so

:03:23.:03:26.

that it's not just an emergency problem. Do you want to move on?

:03:27.:03:34.

Today as we filmed the NHS boss in London during the call at a time

:03:35.:03:37.

when the service is being stretched as never before. It is the busiest

:03:38.:03:42.

we have ever seen it, we are 10% up on where we were in terms of

:03:43.:03:45.

hospital activity year on year, this time last year, one will run during

:03:46.:03:53.

the first few weeks into the New Year, but 14% up, Ambulance Services

:03:54.:03:58.

but we planned to be busy. So far but we planned to be busy. So far

:03:59.:04:02.

this plans are working. London is holding its own but exotic spectre

:04:03.:04:06.

to get even tougher in the coming weeks with cold weather and flu

:04:07.:04:09.

outbreaks on the way. What used to outbreaks on the way. What used to

:04:10.:04:12.

be a busy winter surge isn't expected to end until May.

:04:13.:04:20.

Talking twenties and prohibition - we catch up with Sienna Miller and

:04:21.:04:23.

Ben Affleck at the European Premiere of their latest film.

:04:24.:04:32.

If you visit a barber's in America, Australia and several

:04:33.:04:35.

European countries - by law they are required to be

:04:36.:04:37.

trained AND licenced - but not so here.

:04:38.:04:39.

Because anyone can set up shop, start cutting

:04:40.:04:41.

hair and giving shaves. They don't need a licence.

:04:42.:04:43.

And BBC London has discovered that it could be putting people

:04:44.:04:46.

at risk here in the capital as Ben Hunt explains.

:04:47.:04:52.

For millions of men, visiting a barber is fairly routine.

:04:53.:04:54.

Usually they leave looking and feeling better.

:04:55.:04:58.

Walking London's high streets you will see more barber

:04:59.:05:09.

They are top spots for trendy haircuts and popular meeting places

:05:10.:05:17.

but the UK barbering industry is difficult to regulate

:05:18.:05:19.

and barbers here don't even need a license to practice.

:05:20.:05:22.

For some in the capital, this is causing huge problems.

:05:23.:05:24.

He got a fungal infection after his barber used dirty

:05:25.:05:29.

In the summer of 2015 I started to get some pretty bad bumps

:05:30.:05:33.

on my head and there would be pus coming out,

:05:34.:05:35.

and every time I would wake up I would look down and there would be

:05:36.:05:39.

spots of blood on my pillow, so I was put

:05:40.:05:42.

But nothing, it would subside but come back straight after that.

:05:43.:05:49.

It was quite painful, quite itchy, I wasn't able to shave

:05:50.:05:52.

Dirty clippers or razors at barber shops can put customers at risk

:05:53.:06:09.

of bacterial and viral infections, like folliculitis, herpes

:06:10.:06:10.

We are seeing more and more of this and if the barber isn't trained,

:06:11.:06:16.

then in fact what can happen is there is an entry

:06:17.:06:18.

of bacteria into the scalp, the hair becomes infected

:06:19.:06:21.

If you are trained you would know it's very important

:06:22.:06:26.

Take a look at these pictures we took inside an east

:06:27.:06:34.

We showed them to one of the industry's leading figures.

:06:35.:06:43.

The councils, I think, need to get involved with health

:06:44.:06:46.

and safety and check - not shut down people, help people,

:06:47.:06:50.

tell them what the legislation is and people will get

:06:51.:06:53.

a qualification, they understand everything else.

:06:54.:06:55.

At the London School of Barbering, hygiene is high up on the prejudice

:06:56.:06:59.

for the students must complete three months of training before they can

:07:00.:07:02.

In the USA and Australia you have to work X amount

:07:03.:07:09.

of hours to gain a license, here in the UK you don't,

:07:10.:07:12.

I think that's something that is essential to the health

:07:13.:07:15.

and safety of our customers, you wouldn't go to a mechanic that

:07:16.:07:17.

We contacted all of London's 32 councils but none could tell us how

:07:18.:07:24.

many barber shops operated in the area and only one

:07:25.:07:28.

So while it doesn't look like anything will be changing soon,

:07:29.:07:33.

it's vital that customers are aware of the risks and always

:07:34.:07:36.

Next: There are questions tonight over the future

:07:37.:07:47.

Critics say it's on the verge of collapse after accounts

:07:48.:07:53.

published today show a significant funding shortfall.

:07:54.:07:59.

If it isn't built - around ?40 million of public

:08:00.:08:02.

But the trust behind the project says it still expects to start

:08:03.:08:05.

This is where the Garden Bridge is meant to expand the Thames

:08:06.:08:15.

commitment to be a haven for wildlife and plants, but there is

:08:16.:08:19.

now considerable doubt around the project. The trustees say they are

:08:20.:08:25.

?56 million short, the project is no longer a going concern. Campaigners

:08:26.:08:30.

say the bridge would destroy protected views and is in the wrong

:08:31.:08:31.

place. There are issues about land place. There are issues about land

:08:32.:08:36.

and whether the mail will underwrite maintenance costs. They are

:08:37.:08:43.

admitting the costs arising, they don't know about the roof, who is

:08:44.:08:47.

good to put money into this project? It makes no sense. If there are

:08:48.:08:52.

delays to the project the trustees said the initial estimate of ?185

:08:53.:08:58.

million could rise substantially. The mayor is now carrying out a

:08:59.:09:03.

review of this project and the trustees say that is hindering their

:09:04.:09:07.

attempts to raise more funds through the private sector. The project will

:09:08.:09:14.

use ?60 million of public money. The rest is meant to come from private

:09:15.:09:19.

donors. I think it's nearly dead and it's about time we put it out of its

:09:20.:09:24.

misery. I think the current managed to break with the previous one and

:09:25.:09:30.

make sure he doesn't sign the guarantee in order to fulfil the

:09:31.:09:33.

pledge he made of no more public money being spent on this project.

:09:34.:09:37.

If it doesn't underwrite the maintenance costs and the issues

:09:38.:09:41.

the trustees admit the project may the trustees admit the project may

:09:42.:09:48.

have to be scrapped. The Maher has already said that could cost

:09:49.:09:49.

taxpayer ?40 million. We have had to taxpayer ?40 million. We have had to

:09:50.:10:00.

disclose the risks before we begin construction and none of them are

:10:01.:10:04.

new, we need to secure the land under funded, we would be able to do

:10:05.:10:08.

that but we had to disclose those risks. . The trust says

:10:09.:10:13.

constructions. This year. Critics say the Garden Bridge is on the

:10:14.:10:17.

brink of collapse. Uncertainty means time is running out. Rolf Harris has

:10:18.:10:27.

gone on trial accused of indecently assaulting seven girls and women. He

:10:28.:10:30.

denies seven charges of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.

:10:31.:10:34.

He is serving a prison sentence after being convicted of 12 counts

:10:35.:10:38.

of indecent assault two years ago. He denies the charges.

:10:39.:11:03.

It is day two of the strike on Southern Rail with one more still to

:11:04.:11:11.

2200 services are cancelled, causing 2200 services are cancelled, causing

:11:12.:11:14.

misery yet again for hundreds of thousands of commuters. The dispute

:11:15.:11:18.

is over driver only trains. Further strikes are planned for later this

:11:19.:11:19.

month. This was the scene at the airport

with extended delays like this there is little chance

the Victoria Derbyshire Programme found one British artist's

management team who've been putting tickets directly onto secondary

:15:03.:15:05.

ticketing websites at higher prices, for a stadium tour

:15:06.:15:07.

that hasn't sold out. There are more and more sites

:15:08.:15:09.

where you can get hold of a ticket for a gig or a show,

:15:10.:15:17.

but it seems it's getting more and more

:15:18.:15:19.

difficult to get one And that could be down

:15:20.:15:21.

to the proliferation of resale sites or secondary ticketing websites,

:15:22.:15:30.

where fans can resell tickets but it seems it's not just the fans

:15:31.:15:33.

uploading tickets onto these sites, We're working with one committee

rules, but some people have said In 2015 a number of promoters

and artist managers signed an open letter to the government asking them

to take a harsher stance Harvey Goldsmith who has promoted

acts like Michael Jackson and Madonna, signed it and we

pointed out another signature. I think it is wrong,

hopefully most of the people who have signed the petition

:17:00.:17:02.

are acting honourably and do everything that they can do

:17:03.:17:06.

to prevent tickets being sold Ticketmaster say they are being

transparent but it does seem you are paying more for a ticket

Whatever they are, they get in my way. From your perspective, what is

:19:16.:19:22.

In just a few years, this man - Joe Wicks -

:19:47.:19:48.

From personal trainer to best-selling author -

:19:49.:19:53.

in fact last year second only to JK Rowling.

:19:54.:19:58.

So how did the man from Epsom who began his career handing out

:19:59.:20:01.

flyers offering his training services - go on to become

:20:02.:20:04.

an internet sensation and create a multi-million pound business?

:20:05.:20:06.

His 15 second videos, posted on social media,

:20:07.:20:15.

It is what, in part, has made Joe Wicks so successful.

:20:16.:20:25.

But his diet growing up with his mum in Epsom was far from ideal.

:20:26.:20:32.

We used to have a really bad diet, our cupboards were always full

:20:33.:20:34.

of chocolate wagon wheels, crisps and basically,

:20:35.:20:37.

my mum couldn't afford nice food so we used to have pasta with just

:20:38.:20:41.

tomato sauce but no mince, we will get mince if we were lucky.

:20:42.:20:47.

Today the 31-year-old is a successful presenter

:20:48.:20:51.

But just three years ago, he was a personal trainer,

:20:52.:20:59.

I would cycle with a trailer, 3-4 miles at 6am and get

:21:00.:21:09.

there and sometimes I would stand there and no one would turn up.

:21:10.:21:12.

I was disheartened but kept going back, I would pack it all up,

:21:13.:21:15.

go to the station and hand out flyers and get on people's

:21:16.:21:18.

nerves and say hey, come and try the boot camp.

:21:19.:21:22.

That's when he turned to social media.

:21:23.:21:26.

Talking directly to his audience in his own unique

:21:27.:21:28.

Throwing things in the microwave, hold tight, I wasn't trying

:21:29.:21:38.

to build this character, I was just trying to engage my

:21:39.:21:41.

following and give them a little bit of fun.

:21:42.:21:46.

It does look as if I've come out of nowhere

:21:47.:21:48.

but there was two or three years of really hard work on social

:21:49.:21:51.

media, it takes a long time to build up a community,

:21:52.:21:54.

This is where I used to do my flyering.

:21:55.:22:00.

And it has paid off in more ways than one.

:22:01.:22:04.

It is claimed the Joe Wicks effect has led to a rise

:22:05.:22:07.

We have been scratching our heads all afternoon to try and figure out

:22:08.:22:35.

and pinpoint exactly how much we're going to get! It's a nightmare for a

:22:36.:22:43.

forecaster! But we have got to go for it. We are forecasting snow but

:22:44.:22:48.

it's going to start off as rain and we all know what happens when a

:22:49.:22:54.

little bit of snow settles over the capital, everything grinds to a

:22:55.:22:59.

halt. Hopefully that's not going to happen, hopefully we can deal with a

:23:00.:23:01.

bit of snow. We have clouds and bit of snow. We have clouds and

:23:02.:23:05.

wintry showers across many northern areas of the UK, fairly quiet at the

:23:06.:23:11.

moment, not too many threatening clouds but through the course of the

:23:12.:23:14.
