Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

Welcome to BBC London News with me Alex Bushill.

:00:10.:00:14.

Police are investigating the death of a 10-year-old boy at a branch

:00:15.:00:18.

The BBC understands that he's been named as Kaden Reddick.

:00:19.:00:22.

He suffered serious head injuries in an incident involving

:00:23.:00:24.

store furniture and died later in hospital.

:00:25.:00:27.

Our Correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.

:00:28.:00:31.

This is Kaden Reddick who was said to have been on the first

:00:32.:00:37.

day of his half-term holiday when the accident happened.

:00:38.:00:42.

One relative was quoted as saying, he made me laugh and smile.

:00:43.:00:45.

These pictures show it shuttered with security guards outside.

:00:46.:00:50.

Inside, staff and police officers have been on sight working

:00:51.:00:56.

Inside, staff and police officers have been on site working

:00:57.:00:59.

It was yesterday afternoon the police and ambulances

:01:00.:01:02.

were called to the centre after reports of a ten-year-old

:01:03.:01:04.

The police now say the incident involved what they call

:01:05.:01:08.

It is not entirely clear what the police mean

:01:09.:01:11.

But the boy was taken to hospital with serious head

:01:12.:01:16.

Officers say they're supporting the family at what they call this

:01:17.:01:23.

Other shoppers at the centre today spoke of their sadness.

:01:24.:01:27.

Just feel for his family, I really do.

:01:28.:01:31.

Yeah, our thoughts go out to them really.

:01:32.:01:36.

I feel quite bad for the parents because my daughter is eight,

:01:37.:01:48.

it would be quite - it's very sad actually.

:01:49.:01:53.

In a statement tonight Top Shop said.

:01:54.:02:18.

Taking place in a shop inside a mall this was an extremely rare incident,

:02:19.:02:23.

one that's touched people here as Kaden's family come

:02:24.:02:25.

If you've taken a tube or bus home tonight you might have been exposed

:02:26.:02:37.

to eight times more pollution than had you driven.

:02:38.:02:40.

That's even though motorists produce far more per person.

:02:41.:02:42.

A new study has compared how those using cars,

:02:43.:02:45.

buses and the underground in different areas of London were

:02:46.:02:48.

This piece of kit has been on a long journey.

:02:49.:03:04.

It measures the type of pollution and how much we are

:03:05.:03:07.

exposed to, and for how long for, depending how we commute to work.

:03:08.:03:16.

This green box is measuring the larger particles?

:03:17.:03:19.

Smaller particles of matter penetrate the lungs more

:03:20.:03:21.

But their content is particularly nasty on the

:03:22.:03:26.

We're looking at iron, aluminium, and traces of Salford.

:03:27.:03:41.

We're looking at iron, aluminium, and traces of sulphar.

:03:42.:03:43.

Car drivers are the biggest pollutants, but because of filters

:03:44.:03:45.

in the engine, they are the least exposed.

:03:46.:03:47.

It is those of us who get the bus that are exposed to five

:03:48.:03:51.

times more pollution because the engines keep running

:03:52.:03:55.

But this is the greatest pollutant of them all.

:03:56.:03:59.

The polluted air up above is sucked into deep

:04:00.:04:03.

tunnels underground, with nowhere to go.

:04:04.:04:04.

The deep tunnels on the Victoria and Northern lines are

:04:05.:04:07.

It's particularly bad if you're stood next to an open window.

:04:08.:04:13.

Tube passengers are exposed over eight times more of the larger

:04:14.:04:16.

But to fewer of the so-called tiny pollutants.

:04:17.:04:30.

They are considered to be more dangerous.

:04:31.:04:31.

Tube passengers also had, on average, shorter journeys,

:04:32.:04:33.

It is those travelling on buses who should be

:04:34.:04:37.

While exposed to five times more of the larger pollutants

:04:38.:04:43.

than cars, but crucially more of the ultra-fine particles.

:04:44.:04:52.

What mode of transport we use depends largely on

:04:53.:04:54.

The report's authors describe the findings as proof of an

:04:55.:05:02.

In the underground, I feel suffocated.

:05:03.:05:05.

They need to do something about this.

:05:06.:05:15.

The Mayor of London committed to us that he is

:05:16.:05:17.

Starting with getting rid of diesel busses.

:05:18.:05:26.

Pressure is mounting on the Government.

:05:27.:05:30.

An open letter from 220 doctors have warned the Prime

:05:31.:05:35.

Minister time is running out to protect the health of a generation

:05:36.:05:38.

It's emerged that a nine-year-old boy from West London

:05:39.:05:41.

was investigated by counterterrorism officers - after he stood up

:05:42.:05:43.

in class and pledged his allegiance to the so-called Islamic state.

:05:44.:05:47.

Well, Dan Freedman joins me now and this raises all sorts

:05:48.:05:50.

of questions, what exactly do we know?

:05:51.:05:54.

Well, these were officers from Prevent and they're the team that

:05:55.:06:00.

tried to stop people being radicalised before it's too late.

:06:01.:06:04.

They deal with children, teenagers and adults, they've dealt with more

:06:05.:06:11.

than 1,000 cases since 2012. This boy was highly intelligent, he

:06:12.:06:13.

became curious about so-called Islamic State after the Paris

:06:14.:06:18.

attacks at the end of 2015. Soon he was looking online at some of the

:06:19.:06:23.

most depraved and violent content of Isis propaganda. His words are

:06:24.:06:24.

spoken by an actor. The men were walking and then

:06:25.:06:29.

they were hit and they were told to sit down and that's

:06:30.:06:33.

when they cut their heads off. So on a weekend like,

:06:34.:06:35.

because everyone was going outside and playing, so when they all gone

:06:36.:06:38.

and the house was empty I would go and sit freely

:06:39.:06:41.

in the living and search up. However, it was when he stood up in

:06:42.:06:48.

class and declared his sympathy for so-called Islamic State that an

:06:49.:06:51.

intervention was staged. A Prevent officer spent a year with him

:06:52.:06:55.

visiting his home regularly, looking at online content with him and

:06:56.:06:59.

essentially deradicalising him and after a year she believed he was no

:07:00.:07:02.

longer any kind of threat and his case was closed. It is surprising

:07:03.:07:06.

there was intervention for someone so young, nine years old.

:07:07.:07:10.

Absolutely. In a sense Prevent say that's why he was so vulnerable. If

:07:11.:07:15.

he had gone to a chat room online and met with the wrong people he

:07:16.:07:19.

could have been even more radicalised than he was having

:07:20.:07:21.

already watched this violent content and that's the reason they say it

:07:22.:07:24.

was important to intervene at this stage. Thank you very much.

:07:25.:07:27.

The death of Anita Szucs, Ben Wales and Karla Roman

:07:28.:07:30.

all in London, all last week, has brought into sharp

:07:31.:07:32.

focus the dangers of cycling on our streets.

:07:33.:07:35.

Today, the husband of Anita Szucs has spoken to this programme

:07:36.:07:38.

Tamas and his wife Anita on their honeymoon in Japan last year.

:07:39.:07:53.

The couple met at home in Hungary five years ago.

:07:54.:07:55.

They moved to London together and were due

:07:56.:07:57.

to celebrate their first wedding anniversary in just over a week.

:07:58.:08:00.

She was always cheerful, happy and there was really no one

:08:01.:08:09.

who wouldn't be affected by her personalitity.

:08:10.:08:19.

Last Monday, Anita was killed after she was knocked over

:08:20.:08:23.

on her bike in Edmonton in a suspected hit-and-run.

:08:24.:08:27.

She had been returning from a late shift at work.

:08:28.:08:31.

She always cycled because there were no night buses.

:08:32.:08:33.

I mean, she followed all the rules, everything.

:08:34.:08:38.

She always had her high-vis vest, lights, helmet,

:08:39.:08:41.

I was really worried about her safety.

:08:42.:08:47.

Anita was one of three cyclists killed after collisions

:08:48.:08:52.

This was the protest on Saturday in Whitehall urging the Government

:08:53.:09:01.

Tamas says he is speaking out because he wants all road

:09:02.:09:05.

I just don't want this to remain just a story,

:09:06.:09:14.

we need to keep this danger in the top of everyone's mind

:09:15.:09:18.

Two men who were arrested in connection with Anita's death

:09:19.:09:26.

Tamas says he plans to return to Japan, the place where

:09:27.:09:33.

he and Anita celebrated their love story to scatter his wife's ashes.

:09:34.:09:38.

We were going to go back within one or two years anyway and this way

:09:39.:09:42.

That's it from me. I will hand you over to Wendy for the weather.

:09:43.:10:01.

Thank you. Not much rain in the forecast over the next few days. The

:10:02.:10:06.

little that we get might just be for tomorrow. We are going to get a few

:10:07.:10:10.

showers moving across the London region. Despite that it's going to

:10:11.:10:14.

be on the mild side once again. A bit of cloud at the moment, that's

:10:15.:10:19.

been pushing up from the south-west, low cloud, so misty and murky over

:10:20.:10:23.

higher ground and one or two showers into the early hours of the morning.

:10:24.:10:27.

It's a mild night, temperatures no lower than seven or eight. You will

:10:28.:10:31.

feel the benefit of that first thing tomorrow for your commute T will be

:10:32.:10:34.

on the cloudy side. Through the day we will be watching a few showers

:10:35.:10:38.

developing. They could be on the heavy side, thunder not out of the

:10:39.:10:41.

question. Temperatures are in double figures and winds are from the

:10:42.:10:45.

south-west so not too bad a day and it settles down towards the end of

:10:46.:10:50.

it. Thursday, a mix of cloud and bright spells, probably a foggy

:10:51.:10:53.

start. We have to watch that. Temperatures again will be in double

:10:54.:10:57.

figures. A look at the outlook, there will be plenty more of this

:10:58.:11:00.

weather into the weekend. A bit of fog around to watch out for.

:11:01.:11:02.

weather into the weekend. A bit of fog around to watch out for. Jon

:11:03.:11:05.

Hammond with the national forecast now.

:11:06.:11:09.

Good evening. There is some rain in the forecast but not a lot. Plenty

:11:10.:11:14.

of dry weather to look forward to as we head to the weekend. Cloud
